About this book
Open Access
Modern human identity has been shaped by consumer practices. Contemporary discourses about consumption between addiction and self-determination have their origins in the eighteenth-century luxury debate. This volume is the first to examine Enlightenment writings about practices like drinking alcohol, masturbating, and reading in connection with luxury, a contested concept in the struggle between traditional conservatism and capitalist modernity.
