Fernando Collantes is an applied economist that studied depopulation and development in rural areas as well as changes in food consumption and the dietary issues of developed economies. Starting from the latter subject, he has perceived a gap between the theory of consumer society and the historical analysis. Therefore, this book on consumer society tries to fill that gap starting from the history of economic thought on consumption from the late Eighteenth century to the present day. Therefore, the history of ideas is studied in parallel with social history and that makes the text very interesting.

Fernando Collantes is an applied economist that studied depopulation and development in rural areas as well as changes in food consumption and the dietary issues of developed economies. Starting from the latter subject, he has perceived a gap between the theory of consumer society and the historical analysis. Therefore, this book on consumer society tries to fill that gap starting from the history of economic thought on consumption from the late Eighteenth century to the present day. Therefore, the history of ideas is studied in parallel with social history and that makes the text very interesting.
