Abstract
Closely following the argument employed by Max Weber in `The protestant ethic and the spirit of capitalism', the author shows how the consumer revolution in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century England is related to wider cultural developments and how changes in ideals of character can have profound economic consequences.
