How We Shop : Essays on American Consumer Culture in an Age of Disruption
local_shippingShip to Me
Overview
We all shop. The Covid-19 pandemic both initiated and accelerated long-term changes in technology, demographics, and the workplace that continue to impact the habits and values, personal as well as social, of American consumers. How is shopping changing?
In this book, an interdisciplinary group of contributors, including experts in design, business and cultural history, marketing, fashion studies, and outdoor recreation provide different takes on how both consumers and producers/retailers can see not only the risks and problems inherent in disruptions like the pandemic but also the opportunities for innovation and entrepreneurship. Addressed to both students and general readers, the interrelated essays are case studies in how America's culture of consumption has adapted to change in volatile times. They center on three significant opportunities: repurposing the places for shopping, rethinking fashion, and reimagining leisure in the outdoors.
