Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the changing nature of the consumer in the face of industrial expansion. The author, writing from a perspective that is both historical and critical, illuminates the cyclical nature of economic hardship and the forces that contribute to industrial stagnation.
