New mass production methods after World War I intensified the debate over the allocation of growth in the advanced industrial societies, resulting eventually in a new balance of production and consumption as the routine of the 40 hour week and the annual holiday became the norm. Gary Cross provides a comparative and wide-ranging historical analysis of the work-and-spend ethic, exploring American, British and French patterns of organizing free time. Covering the emergence of a consumer society in the 1920s and 30s, through the mass consumerism of the 1950s to trends in the present day, he provides a new perspective on the history of consumerism by placing contemporary dilemmas and responses to the question of `time and money' in their historical context. He links the modern culture of consumerism with trends in work, leisure, cultural politics and political economy to create a subtle analysis of complex social phenomena.

Neverknow

Dont waste your time.

November 11, 2015

Format: Hardcover

Positively awful. Interesting premise but cannot stand the authors prose which he over complicates and spends more time informing you what he wont be telling you rather than what he will be telling. Can not stand the writing style or the fact that the author never actually accomplishes making a point. The book is sloppily organized as well. Really expected more.
