Abstract:
Consumption and Generational Change addresses the rise of consumer culture and the various attempts to explain and account for it. It considers the view that a particular generational framework was formed in the post-war period and has been carried on into the early twentieth century with particular consequences for the experience of later life. The rise of individualism, mass consumption, leisure, and lifestyles has been accompanied by the democratization of social forms and, for many, a corrosion of community and social cohesion
