Description

Jean Baudrillard′s classic text was one of the first to focus on the process and meaning of consumption in contemporary culture. Originally published in 1970, the book makes a vital contribution to current debates on consumption.  The book includes Baudrillard′s most organized discussion of mass media culture, the meaning of leisure, and anomie in affluent society.

A chapter on the body demonstrates Baudrillard′s extraordinary prescience for flagging vital subjects in contemporary culture long before others.  This English translation begins with a new introductory essay.
