This book studies the dramatic changes in consumption patterns in
Vietnam over the past decades, combining a focus on everyday
practices and societal transformations. Zooming in on the new urban
middle classes, and through in-depth case studies in the realms of
mobility, food and energy, the book brings new insights to some of
the most urgent global sustainability challenges. Based on a decade
of research in Vietnam, the book aims to contribute to better
understanding one of the most fascinating 'development success
stories' in the world. It introduces the term 'consumer socialism'
to analyse some of the contradictions embedded in the socialist
market economy. Simultaneously, the book aims to contribute to
strengthening consumption research in and on emerging economies,
and for this purpose develops a theoretical approach focusing on
social practices and the political economy of consumption.
