The Consumer Revolution, 1650-1800

Beschreibung

A bold new interpretation of the 'consumer revolution' in the eighteenth century, when European elites, middling classes, and even certain labourers purchased unprecedented quantities of clothing, household goods, and colonial products. This volume examines globalization and the politics of consumption in the age of abolitionism and revolution.
