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.

Over-consumption is one of the key issues of our time, especially in the Western world. Over the past decade, in the face of historically unprecedented levels of consumer spending in the West - and the more recent impact of recession - a vigorous politics of anti-consumerism has emerged in a range of wealthy nations. This timely and original new book provides a comprehensive overview and analysis of what has come to be called the ’new politics of consumption’; a politics embodied in movements such as culture jamming, simple living, slow food and fair trade.

The Romantic Ethic and the Spirit of Modern Consumerism was first piblished by Basil Blackwell of Oxford in 1987. Editions have appeared in Italian, Portuguese, Slovenian and Chinese but no copies have been available in English since 1998.

I have appended to this edition a list of my publicatrions on consumption that have appeared since 1987. I have considered writing a revised edition which critics as

Most people remember the youth counterculture of the 1960s, but Thomas Frank shows that another revolution shook American business during those boom years. He shows how the youthful revolutionaries were joined--and even anticipated--by such unlikely allies as the advertising industry and the men’s clothing business. Halftones & tables.
