The book explores the evolution of American and European writers' perspectives on consumer culture from 1950 to 1972. It highlights a shift from outright condemnation to a more nuanced critical appreciation, examining how these writers challenged cultural hierarchies and moralistic views. By focusing on the symbolic processes of communication among individuals and groups, the work delves into the complexities of consumerism and its implications on society.
