Summary

Contextualizing Ernest Dichter within modern consumer culture and the rise of psychological approaches to post-war consumption in Europe and the US, this book argues that 1950s motivation research gives a unique vantage point from which to address questions of the transatlantic transfer of the cultures and institutions of consumption and marketing.
