Consumers and Consumption in Comparison

About this book

Consumption studies are underrated in the social sciences. Drawing specific attention to this need for further analysis, this latest volume of Comparative Social Research presents a rich collection of chapters offering an up-to-date view of the sociology of consumption.

Providing a theoretically informed discussion of the specificities of sociology of consumption, Consumers and Consumption in Comparison focuses on three main approaches: Consumption and social inequality; Consumption and gender; and Consumption and social movements.

With chapters covering consumer collective action, health and food consumption, sustainable consumption, the cost-of-living crises, gendered online play, and more, this is compelling read for scholars across the social sciences interested in a comparative view of consumers and consumptions.
