Description
How do our consumer choices define us? Journalist Harry Wallop explores this question in his thought-provoking analysis of modern British society. Since the end of food rationing in 1954, the way we live and interact has undergone significant changes.
Wallop argues that social standing is no longer determined by traditional factors such as accent, education or family background, but rather by our everyday choices - from what we eat to where we holiday, what we wear and how we decorate our homes. He examines how retailers and big business are responding to these new social categories.
This insightful book offers a fascinating look at the state of Britain today, revealing how consumer habits have become a key aspect of our identity and how businesses are adapting to meet changing needs.
