Deborah Kalte

Deborah Kalte is a political consumerism researcher at the Swiss research institute Demoscope. She has focused her doctoral work on the dynamics of political consumption, particularly how consumer boycotts can serve as a form of political protest. Kalte asserts that boycotts, such as the current anti-Tesla sentiment in Europe, enable consumers to express their political frustrations, especially when they feel powerless to influence policies directly.
