Empire of Things: How We Became a World of Consumers, From the Fifteenth Century to the Twenty-First
*Empire of Things*
(2016-03-21)
The author is Frank Trentmann and the very apt subtitle is How We Became a World of Consumers, from the Fifteenth Century to the Twenty-First . I have only browsed this, but it appears both readable and well informed. It is a “big book” with 690 pp. of core text, bringing together many ideas from history and the social sciences yet in narrative form.
