Looking at luxury: consuming luxury fashion in global cities

Abstract

‘The Handbook is a pioneering social science intervention. It assembles the largely social-theoretic perspectives of thirty researchers from fields as wide as air transport, international management, town and regional planning, economic, historical and human geography, housing and urban studies, international politics, environmental studies, social theory and political economy, sociology, public policy, and consumer behaviours. It aims to conceptualise and examine empirically the multiple activities that distinguish the particular ways that the super-rich re-shape capitalist relation. In doing so, the volume complements the growing body of more popular works by academics that take aim at the excesses of capitalism, and the unearned incomes enjoyed by its greatest beneficiaries.’ – Richard Le Heron, University of Auckland, New Zealand
