"Changes interlock and sustain one another. Wherever there is this coherence there is endurance. Order is not imposed from without but is made out of the relations of harmonious interactions that energies bear to one another."
John Dewey, Art as Experience, Ch1. The Live Creature

simulo reviewed Empire of Things by Frank Trentmann
large scope, great examples
3 stars
The scope is too large for an in-depth treatment of “everything consumption” in several centuries but as an (although 1000p large) overview it is great. I particularly liked the historical perspective and how changes in consumption, politics, class distinction and people’s goals were intertwined over history, be it clothes in 17th century China or mopeds in post-war Germany.
