The relationships between thrift and frugality, mindfulness, sustainability, and alternative consumption practices are explained, and connections made between myriad conceptions of thrift and contemporary concerns for how consumer cultures impact scarce resources, wealth distribution, and the Anthropocene. Ultimately, the book returns the reader to an understanding of thrift as it was originally used - to 'thrive' - and attempts to re-cast thrift in more collective, economically egalitarian terms, reclaiming it as a genuinely resistant practice.Manchester scholarship online.Social historyConsumption (Economics)Thriftinessabundance.austerity.de-growth.frugality.individualism.moralism.scarcity.simplicity.solidarity.thrift.Social history.Consumption (Economics)Thriftiness.332.024Hulme Alison1491951MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910793633303321A brief history of thrift3714107UNINA
