The rise of consumerism in the 20th century
Throughout the 20th Century almost every facet of society changed dramatically to result in the global capitalist economy of today. But how did we get here?
In this three-part vlog series, we’re diving into 20th-century history to find out how changes in production processes, consumer patterns and advertising strategies awoke the little hoarder inside of us.
