The Sum of Small Things: A Theory of the Aspirational Class

The Sum of Small Things is a groundbreaking book that explores the rise of the aspirational class, a new elite defined by cultural capital rather than income bracket.

This insightful work examines how this group's consumer habits impact us all and provides valuable insights into the ways in which they reproduce wealth and upward mobility, deepening the ever-wider class divide.

With a rich exploration of the history of conspicuous consumption, The Sum of Small Things offers a fresh perspective on the role of material goods in society and how their accessibility has led to changes in consumer habits.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of modern class dynamics and the ways in which our purchasing decisions shape our social positions.
