We now see how corporations, designers, retailers, advertisers, and other middle-men influence what a thing can be and how it is made. We see the way goods link into ordinary life as well as vast systems of consumption, economic and political operation. The book is a meditation into the meaning of the stuff in our lives and what that stuff says about us.EngineeringPopular worksEngineering620Molotch Harvey Luskin276319MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910827920503321Where stuff comes from1768233UNINA
