我们消费的东西已经成为我们生活的决定性特征：我们的经济因支出而生或死，我们被更多地视为消费者而不是工人，甚至公共服务也是作为超市的产品呈现给我们的。在这一不朽的研究中，著名历史学家弗兰克·特伦特曼（Frank Trentmann）展示了塑造我们物质世界的非凡历史，从晚明的中国，文艺复兴时期的意大利和大英帝国到现在。令人惊讶的广泛和丰富的细节，帝国的东西探讨了我们如何来生活与这么多，这如何改变了历史的进程，以及我们面临的全球性挑战。
What we consume has become the defining feature of our lives: our economies live or die by spending, we are treated more as consumers than workers, and even public services are presented to us as products in a supermarket. In this monumental study, acclaimed historian Frank Trentmann unfolds the extraordinary history that has shaped our material world, from late Ming China, Renaissance Italy and the British empire to the present. Astonishingly wide-ranging and richly detailed, Empire of Things explores how we have come to live with so much more, how this changed the course of history, and the global challenges we face as a result.
