{"product_id":"a-brief-history-of-thrift-alison-hulme-9781526128836","title":"A Brief History of Thrift","description":"This book surveys 'thrift' through its moral, religious, ethical, political, spiritual and philosophical expressions, focussing in on key moments such as the early Puritans and Post-war rationing, and key characters such as Benjamin Franklin, Samuel Smiles and Henry Thoreau. The relationships between thrift and frugality, mindfulness, sustainability, and alternative consumption practices are explained, and connections made between myriad conceptions of thrift and contemporary concerns for how consumer cultures impact scarce resources, wealth distribution, and the Anthropocene. Ultimately, the book returns the reader to an understanding of thrift as it was originally used - to 'thrive' - and attempts to re-cast thrift in more collective, economically egalitarian terms, reclaiming it as a genuinely resistant practice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alison Hulme\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1526128837\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526128836\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/04\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Alison Hulme","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44068466295039,"sku":"9781526128836","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9b351062-a936-482c-a0c7-1b0789c2553f.jpg?v=1685419163","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-brief-history-of-thrift-alison-hulme-9781526128836","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
