paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Taschenbuch / Paperback. Condition: Gut. 228 p. Einband und Seiten vergilbt, sonst sehr guter Zustand. | Cover and pages yellowed, otherwise very good condition. - It is extraordinary to discover that no one agrees why people want goods, although demand theory is at the very centre of our understanding of economics. For modern western society is, if nothing else, a consumer society; a society that lives, moves, and has its being in a commodities environment, made according to demand. The World of Goods is cast as a debate between anthropology and economics on the very question of why people want goods. The authors argue that we can better understand our own demand for material possessions if we know what they mean for other peoples outside the industrial system and beyond the ingenious chicanery of contemporary advertising. Anthropology suggests that we use goods to build a communication system - a code of transactions. No one denies that food is for nourishment, housing for shelter, clothes for comfort. But if that were all, our choice of products would be selective in very different ways. The idea that goods are for communicating is well known to market researchers. But to take the idea seriously and follow It up calls for a revolution in our thinking about consumer demand. Many important questions about poverty, public amenities, taxation policy and inflationary pressure appear in a different light when the anthropological approach Is understood. It is in this way that the book not only presents new facts about consumer demand, but also provides the theory to explain what we already know about the subject.
