The core of this book is an analysis of consumption of the more critical kind, suggesting that this concept may have become a Frankensteins monster of sorts for social sciences. Wardes argument unravels much more clearly. By marketing this book as Consumption: A Sociological Analysis, he provides more than a well-devised, albeit messily written, academic prank. (Jonas Bth, Acta Sociologica, Vol. 61 (3), May, 2018) Consumption is a valuable source of information that aims to offer a fruitful and deeper-level discussion of consumption while offering practical steps to building a fairer society. Consumption: a sociological analysis is recommended to scholars, students, and policymakers whose focus may include the study of globalization, capitalism, or consumption. (Maximiliano E. Korstanje, Journal of International and Global Studies, Vol. 10 (01), December, 2018)
