His attack is upon the traditional economic anthropology of need fulfilment since, for Baudrillard, there can never be fulfilment, or even a definition of need. Consumption, for Baudrillard, is more like fashion than utility. Goods are acquired and disposed of for their image value rather than their content and the “economy of the sign” is driven by an insatiable desire to keep pursuing difference.
