Point Of Purchase

Modern shopping has changed American culture itself, moving consumer patterns from small public shops and mail-order to big online sites--but social critic Sharon Zukin doesn't condemn modern Americans for their new choices. Rather, Point Of Purchase: How Shopping Changed American Culture focuses on the evolution of these patterns and why shopping has become central to the American lifestyle--and representative of the American dream. An intriguing history.
