Lauren Rosewarne:  Doom Spending

Americans are feeling anxious — so they’re ‘doom spending’.  What exactly is “doom spending,” and how did this trend emerge? How does it differ from other forms of impulsive spending, like retail therapy? Is this trend a response to economic concerns, personal stress, or both?

Guest: Associate Professor Lauren Rosewarne from The University of Melbourne.

Presenter: Warren Andrew.
