       Kasser, Tim. The High Price of Materialism. Cambridge, MA: MIT, 2002. Print.
This book is great because it reads about the different possible reasons why people are so materialistic. It also goes into the detriments on the people, and society for being so materialistic.


      Wuthnow, Robert. Rethinking Materialism: Perspectives on the Spiritual Dimension of Economic Behavior. Grand Rapids, MI: W.B. Eerdmans Pub., 1995. Print.
This book delves into the problems and devastation materialism is having on America's population when only a small percentage are the exorbitant materialistic. The difference in this book that probably won't be found in others, is that it also refers to some small measure of materialism as a good thing. I think that will definitely give a good counter argument and maybe a solution to the growing problem of materialism.
