In this signal work of history, Bancroft Prize winner andPulitzer Prize finalist Lizabeth Cohen shows how the pursuit ofprosperity after World War II fueled our pervasive consumermentality and transformed American life. Trumpeted as a means to promote the general welfare, massconsumption quickly outgrew its economic objectives and becamesynonymous with patriotism, social equality, and the AmericanDream.
