Description

Explore the historical shift from local trade to modern consumerism with Gifts and Commodities: Exchange and Western Capitalism Since 1700. This book examines the cultural and historical changes that transformed how people acquire goods, moving from handmade items and neighborly trade to the global shop-based economy we recognize today. Focusing on Britain and the United States, the text traces the rise of consumer society and how these economic shifts changed human behavior. It investigates how people relate to objects in twentieth-century culture and how these relationships shape social meanings and connections with others. By applying perspectives from anthropology and sociology, this work offers a deep look at the material cultures that define our modern world. Whether you are a student of economic history or interested in the social impact of capitalism, this Routledge publication provides a detailed account of how we transitioned from makers to consumers.
