Examines a key transition in the meaning of envy for the American middle class. This book traces how attitudes about envy changed as department stores, magazines, movies, and advertising became prevalent, and the mass production of imitation luxury goods offered middle- and working-class individuals the opportunity to emulate upper-class life.
