Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complexities of class distinctions within early 18th century England, as seen through the lens of fashion and consumerism. The author explores how these factors influenced social hierarchy, with the middle class engaging in conspicuous consumption to emulate the grandeur of their superiors. This phenomenon not only shaped individual behaviors but also had a profound impact on the economic and cultural landscape of the time. The book examines the underlying motivations and consequences of this rampant imitation, revealing its significance as a catalyst for social mobility and the emergence of new social norms.
