Mass Consumption and Personal Identity

More about the book

Grounded in the accounts people gave them of their lives, and in the analysis of the social conditions from which the accounts emerged, the authors explore the felt reality of present consumer arrangements, the ordinary beliefs about how daily life is and should be, the relations between goods and personal identity, consumption and pleasure, budgeting and control.
