Abstract
While maladaptive consumption and its consequences are well known, the management and regulation of such consumption is fraught with numerous issues related to definition, locus of responsibility, and potential modes of intervention. The present paper provides a review of the conceptual, methodological, and policy issues surrounding maladaptive consumption. The paper suggests that marketing has an important and unique role in the design of products and regulation intended to address maladaptive consumption. Questions for future research and public policy are identified and discussed.
