Cohen, a professor of American Studies at Harvard, examines how the quest for prosperity informed much of American culture and society in the decades following World War II. Touching on a variety of movements, from activism to education, A CONSUMER'S REPUBLIC argues for a reappraisal of the effect consumerism has had historically and today.
