"The Authority of the Consumer" explores the implications of
"consumer society" - charting its meanings in particular contexts
and debating the merits or drawbacks of this way of understanding
the relationship between "providers" and "recipients". Some have
seen this development as involving a radical shift of authority -
away from the provider/producer and towards the recipient/consumer.
But they have differed in their responses to this shift, either
welcoming it in terms of democratization, anti-elitism or
empowerment, or decrying it as commercialization, populism or loss
of integrity. Others have been more sceptical. These issues are
explored in this important and wide-ranging book. The authors have
drawn from several disciplines in the social sciences and
humanities and include several non-academics. Keat has also
published "Enterprise Culture", with Urry (Routledge, 1991);
"Politics of Social Theory" (Blackwell, 1981); and "Understanding
Phenomenology" (Blackwell, 1991). Abercrombie has published
"Contemporary British Society" (Polity, 1988); and "Social Change
in Contemporary Britain" (Polity, 1991).
