  • "Consumption has dominated research and debate in sociology and cultural studies in the last ten years. Until now, books on consumption have tended to focus on abstract theoretical aspects in a way which students have found hard to relate to their everyday lives. In order to redress the balance, this book addresses the situated, experiential aspects of consumerism as a way of life. It argues that while consumerism has been significant for centuries, it is only more recently and particularly in the aftermath of the Second World War that it has shaped lifestyle and culture. - from publisher."
