The Weimar Republic is often described as the era when the consumer society unfolded in Germany. A new book on the history of the German consumer society Die Konsumgesellschaft in Deutschland 1890-1990 sheds some light on this truism. Especially interesting is the chapter ‘Das Janusgesicht der Weimarer Konsumpolitik’ by Claudius Torp.
