De Vries provides a new view of how consumers and markets interact, while dismantling long-held views about the Industrial Revolution as the prime engine of change. De Vries focuses on the household as a unit of study, rather than on the individual, showing that it was a dynamic and shifting unit. He examines how, prior to the Industrial Revolution--in 1650 and afterwards--there was a marked spike in the acquisition and enjoyment of "things." De Vries continues through the centuries, establishing that households responded creatively to changing markets with a variety of survival strategies. De Vries's probing study across several centuries brings out fascinating information about the commonalities of households and consumers across changing times.
