Abstract

In the long eighteenth century, new consumer aspirations combined with a new industrious behavior to fundamentally alter the material cultures of northwest Europe and North America. This 'industrious revolution' is the context in which the economic acceleration associated with the Industrial Revolution took shape. This study explores the intellectual understanding of the new importance of consumer goods as well as the actual consumer behavior of households of all income levels. De Vries examines how the activation and evolution of consumer demand shaped the course of economic development, situating consumer behavior in the context of the household economy. He considers the changing consumption goals of households from the seventeenth century to the present and analyzes how household decisions have mediated between macro-level economic growth and actual human betterment. Ultimately, de Vries' research reveals the strengths and weaknesses of existing consumer theory, suggesting revisions that add historical realism to economic abstractions

Abstract

By relating economic changes to the political backdrop, "The economy of Europe in an age of crisis, 1600-1750" describes and analyzes the economic civilization of Europe in the last epoch before the Industrial Revolution. The author makes a special effort to apply economic reasoning to the economic forces of the period and challenges some longstanding opinions about what was and was not important in explaining economic performance. The significance of this study rests in its identification of the ways a "traditional" society developed its economy despite the absence of the obvious growth factors of the nineteenth century. The approach is consciously comparative : problems of interpretation are identified ; research not yet available elsewhere is incorporated into the text ; and examples are drawn from minor as well as major countries in western and central Europe. Topics dealt with include the development of agriculture and industry, foreign and regional trade, urbanization, a study of demand (as opposed to supply) in explaining economic growth, the bourgeoisie, and the state ; footnotes refer readers to recent literature in the various topics covered.
