The Added Value of Becoming --Bibliography --List of Figures --IndexWith a novel quality theory of consumption which treats opulence and self-restraint in consumption styles symmetrically, Ernst Mohr shows how social distance and proximity are communicated by consumption and produced by communication. He positions fringe styles with those of the mainstream in an overall stylistic system of society and analyses their encounters. Rigorously derived, the approach casts fresh light on the cultural and social evolution as well as the business models of the consumer industry. It provides a coherent interdisciplinary access to the aesthetic turn of society that has so far been treated with contradictory paradigms.Besprochen in:Journal of Economic Literature, 60/1, (2022)Edition Transcript Mohr, The Production of Consumer SocietyCultural-Economic Principles of DistinctionConsumptionAestheticsStyleCultureDistinctionEconomySociology of CultureCultural TheoryEconomicsSociologyConsumptionAestheticsStyleCultureDistinctionEconomySociology of CultureCultural TheoryEconomicsSociology306.3Mohr Ernst<p>Ernst Mohr, Universität St. Gallen, Schweiz</p>aut145467DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910476896103321The Production of Consumer Society2045270UNINA
