About Author

J. H. Plumb

Glenn Edward Plumb (1866 – 1 August 1922) was an American lawyer who was famous for proposing a radical plan for cooperative railway ownership, the Plumb plan, in 1918. He founded the Plumb Plan League to support the proposal. Despite strong support from organized labor, including railroad workers, miners and farm workers, the plan was not adopted.

Description

The thesis of the book, briefly stated, is that there was a consumer revolution in England during the 18th century, a revolution that (surprisingly) predated the advent of industrialization as well as the advent of mass production.
