Originally published in 1989. In this book Nicholas Xenos argues
that the assumption that scarcity is a universal human condition is
far from universal but rather a product of western influence.
Informed by the work of Baudrillard, Bourdieu, Girard, and Sahlins,
this historical narrative of scarcity incorporates interpretations
of texts and practices from eighteenth-century London to
contemporary New York. Lucid and elegant in style, Scarcity and
Modernity will appear to those with interests in social and
political thought and cultural criticism.
