Consuming Cultures, Global Perspectives: Historical Trajectories, Transnational Exchanges - Cultures of Consumption Series
John Brewer
Globalization and consumerism are two of the buzzwords of the early 21st century. This book looks at the genealogy of the modern consumer and the development of consumer cultures, from the porcelain trade and consumption in Britain and China in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, to post Second World War developments in America and Japan.
