Klappentext
Consumption occupied a privileged place in the fabric of British society during the 1980s, when the world of goods became a critical factor in determining identity. In a groundbreaking work of cultural history, Frank Mort explores popular and commercial culture of the period, showing how the market place dramatized a series of pressing questions about sexual politics and the meaning of masculinity.
