Description

Explore the complex relationship between childhood and the rise of consumer culture in the nineteenth century. This academic volume from the Studies in Childhood series examines how children functioned within a changing economic landscape. Rather than being simple bystanders, young people held multiple roles: they were active consumers, sources of industrial labor, and even viewed as goods used by adults to demonstrate middle-class values. This collection analyzes how materialist ventures were linked to the formation of an ethical society through the lens of childhood. By studying the roles assigned to children, readers gain a deeper understanding of how nineteenth-century consumerism shaped social structures and family dynamics. This text is an essential resource for those studying business and economic history, social history, or the evolution of consumerism. It provides a detailed look at how children provided the raw material and labor necessary for industrial growth while simultaneously navigating their own roles in a growing marketplace.
