Description

Gifts and Commodities traces three centuries of transformation in how people acquire, value, and relate to the objects that surround them. From a time when most goods were made locally or exchanged between neighbours to today's global consumer society, this Routledge study examines the profound cultural and historical shifts that have reshaped human relationships with material goods. Drawing on anthropology and sociology, the book investigates how twentieth-century culture has transformed our thinking about objects and what those relationships reveal about our connections with others. Essential reading for understanding the rise of consumer society in Britain and the United States, and the economic and social meanings embedded in the everyday act of exchange.
