Description
Summary:	Britain today is thought of as a consumer society, but how and when did this consumer revolution happen? Although the issues of consumption, consumers and consumer society are often used as a means of explaining and describing the nature of modern British society, their origins remain both neglected and controversial. This book aims to fill this gap by examining the causes, course and consequences of the changes in consumption which have occurred over the last 100 years.
