摘要：The consumption economic theory,which was propounded by Ernest Engel (1821- 1896),has been substantially improved over time,by the contributions of the modern economists. However,the extensive themes of the studies about the euro-atlantics populations‘ consumption models (as well as populations from other geographical areas) still remain a domain relatively less explored and known. At present,no appreciable understanding of the consumers‘ behavior exists and especially of the real motivation for adopting certain consumption practices. Although in this domain a lot of studies,observations and investigations had been conducted. In this paper,the authors analyzed the change impact of the consumption models in the context of a sustainable development. The analysis follows the evolution of the phenomena,as well as it concerns the general characteristics at the global level.
