«An All-Consuming Century» is Gary Cross's essay on the history of consumption, published by Columbia University Press in hardback (352 pages, in English).
Gary Cross reconstructs how consumer culture prevailed in the United States between 1900 and 2000: from the Model T and department stores to amusement parks. The Great Depression, the sixties counterculture or the inflation of the seventies, far from curbing it, fuelled it.
The full subtitle is «Why Commercialism Won in Modern America». Work published in 2000; includes bibliographic references and index.
For readers of US social and economic history and for those studying consumption, advertising and twentieth-century material culture.
