  • Commentary
  • "A Consumers’ Republic is a magnificent, path-breaking achievement. Lizabeth Cohen lays bare the deeply transformative impact of mass prosperity on the texture of American social, political, and cultural life in the post-World War II era - its triumphs and costs, as well as its limitations. An unflaggingly provocative, indispensable book." -- David Kennedy, author of Freedom From Fear: The American People in Depression and War, 1929-1945
