In A History of Global Consumption: 1500 - 1800, Ina Baghdiantz
McCabe examines the history of consumption throughout the early
modern period using a combination of chronological and thematic
discussion, taking a comprehensive and wide-reaching view of a
subject that has long been on the historical agenda. The title
explores the topic from the rise of the collector in Renaissance
Europe to the birth of consumption as a political tool in the
eighteenth century. Beginning with an overview of the history of
consumption and the major theorists, such as Bourdieu, Elias and
Barthes, who have shaped its development as a field, Baghdiantz
McCabe approaches the subject through a clear chronological
framework. Supplemented by illlustrations in every chapter and
ranging in scope from an analysis of the success of American
commodities such as tobacco, sugar and chocolate in Europe and Asia
to a discussion of the Dutch tulip mania, A History of Global
Consumption: 1500 - 1800 is the perfect guide for all students
interested in the social, cultural and economic history of the
early modern period.
