Reviews
Consumption is a valuable source of information that aims to offer a fruitful and deeper-level discussion of consumption while offering practical steps to building a fairer society. Consumption: a sociological analysis is recommended to scholars, students, and policymakers whose focus may include the study of globalization, capitalism, or consumption. (Maximiliano E. Korstanje, Journal of International and Global Studies, Vol. 10 (01), December, 2018)

Warde's argument unravels much more clearly. By `marketing' this book as Consumption: A Sociological Analysis, he provides more than a well-devised, albeit messily written, academic prank.
