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 thrift3714107UNINA02307nam 2200589 450 991081780860332120200520144314.01-4529-4894-11-4529-4063-0(CKB)2550000001159819(SSID)ssj0001040614(PQKBManifestationID)11632997(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001040614(PQKBWorkID)11001288(PQKB)10605557(StDuBDS)EDZ0001177282(OCoLC)862745952(MdBmJHUP)muse31466(Au-PeEL)EBL1538763(CaPaEBR)ebr10797189(CaONFJC)MIL543024(OCoLC)862612770(MiAaPQ)EBC1538763(EXLCZ)99255000000115981920130705d2013 ub 0engur|||||||||||txtccrFritz Lang the nature of the beast /Patrick McGilliganFirst University of Minnesota Press edition.Minneapolis :University of Minnesota Press,2013.1 online resource (548 pages) illustrations (black and white)Originally published: New York : St. Martin's Griffin Press, 1997.0-8166-7655-0 1-306-11773-9 Includes bibliographical references and index.Includes filmography.The name of Fritz Lang - the visionary director of 'Metropolis', 'M', 'Fury', 'The Big Heat', and thirty other unforgettable films - is hallowed the world over.
