The Search for a Historical Movement
Front Cover
1 Review
Cambridge University Press, Nov 13, 2003 - Business & Economics - 382 pages
This book is the first comprehensive history of consumerism as an organised social and political movement. It offers a groundbreaking account of consumer movements, ideologies and organisations in twentieth-century Britain. It explores the history of organisations such as the Co-operative movement and the Consumers' Association and analyses the role of the National Consumer Council, the Office of Fair Trading, international consumer organisations and the growth of ethical consumerism. A major contribution to discussions of the role of consumption in modern society, this is essential reading for historians of twentieth-century Britain.
