"A book of unusual clarity combined with careful and considered
assessment of the plethora of arguments that have arisen about the
fundamental nature of consumption and modernity from the
Enlightenment to the present day. This is the best synthesis of the
literature on consumption that has yet been produced and an ideal
textbook for anyone wishing to teach or to learn about the spectrum
of theoretical approaches that have been developed to account for
one of the key issues of our time." Daniel Miller, University
College London
"An ambitious and interesting review of consumer studies. Slater
shows a real talent for exposition across a range of disciplines
and approaches. There is much ground to cover and he does it
admirably." Sociology
