Bøker av Grant David McCracken

Takes a fresh view of the culture of consumption. This book examines the interplay of culture and consumer behavior from the anthropologist's point of view and provides new insights into the way we view ourselves and our society.

A follow-up to "Culture and Consumption", this book trades the platitudes about the consumer society for an anthropological treatment. It includes essays on homes, cars, people, and social mobility, celebrities, consumerism, self-invention, museums and the power of objects, the anthropology of advertising, and more.
