large scope, great examples
3 étoiles
The scope is too large for an in-depth treatment of “everything consumption” in several centuries but as an (although 1000p large) overview it is great. I particularly liked the historical perspective and how changes in consumption, politics, class distinction and people’s goals were intertwined over history, be it clothes in 17th century China or mopeds in post-war Germany.
