An edited collection exploring divisions and changes within and
between the spheres of consumption and production. Topics include:
the relationship between consumption and production; the social
construction of consumers; housing and social class mobility;
health provision; the role of the 'service class'; and access to
higher education. Peter Saunders' work provides the initial
stimulus for many of the papers, but all go beyond his narrow
conception of a sociology of consumption and his liberal analysis
of patterns of social inequality.
The single most important change in the British labour market over the last two decacdes has been the re-emergence of mass unemployment. This study focuses on six areas: Aberdeen, Kirkcaldy, Rochdale, Coventry, Northampton, and Swindon, and investigates the effect of being unemployed on individuals' attitudes to work, their social relationships, and their psychological health. It breaks entirely new ground, using large-scale surveys that allow direct comparison with people in employment and taking into account a wide range of variables. It will become a standard work of reference on the subject.
