The work analyses the «fantasmagoría de la abundancia» in Europe between the mid-nineteenth century and the interwar period, embodied in the bazaar as an exhibition of goods and desires. Marinas sees consumption as a social fact that creates identity and reproduces inequalities, and engages with Benjamin, Simmel, Veblen, Mauss, Ortega y Gasset and Gómez de la Serna.
