Description

Book Synopsis
The momentous changes which are transforming American life call for a new exploration of the economic and cultural landscape. In this book, the author links our expanding need to consume with two fundamental shifts: places of production have given way to spaces for services, and the competitive edge has moved from industrial to cultural capital.
