Consumerism, also known as consumer protection or the consumer movement, is
active in many countries.

Consumerism
includes activities by consumers themselves as well as government
action on the federal, state and local level. The movement seeks to provide
adequate information about products so that consumers can make wise decisions
in purchasing goods and services. Consumerism also tries to inform consumers of
