This book reinterprets the rise of consumerism in terms of
interaction between Europe and China 1400-1800. In particular, it
examines the intellectual foundations of consumerism in food,
dress, shelter, utilities, information and symbolism. It highlights
consumerism as an expression of both rationality and freedom and
indicates the constructive role it has played in the formation of
the modern world. Particular use is made of comparisons between
developments in Europe and China to differentiate both.
