Empire of Things
Frank Trentmann
What we consume has become the defining feature of our lives: our economies live or die by spending, we are treated more as consumers than workers, and even public services are presented to us as products in a supermarket. This book explores how we have come to live with so much more, how this changed the course of history, and more.
