Capitals, occupational fields and consumption preferences
Relationships between occupational membership and personal consumption have long been an important area of social analysis. Occupational groups represent important contexts of consumption, where individuals' advantages and resources are accumulated and often impose reproduction of field-specific practices and patterns of behaviour. Drawing on Bourdieu's conceptualization of capitals and using the British family expenditure survey, we explore cons…

Stop-go' policy and the restriction of postwar British house-building
From the mid-1950s to the early 1980s the Treasury and the Bank of England successfully advocated a policy of restricting both private and public sector house-building, as a key but covert instrument of their wider 'stop-go' macroeconomic policy framework. While the intensity of restrictions varied over the economic cycle, private house-building was restricted (through limiting mortgage availability) for almost all this period. This was achieved …
The impact of 'stop-go' demand management policy on Britain's consumer durables industries, 1952-65
This article examines the impacts of British government 'stop-go' policy on domestic sales of consumer durables over the period 1952-65, via hire purchase restrictions and punitive Purchase Tax rates. Our analysis includes a general review of contemporary evidence regarding the impacts of these measures, a more detailed study of the television sector, and time-series econometric analysis for both televisions and a representative high-ticket labou…

Working-Class Household Consumption Smoothing in Interwar Britain
We examine the strategies interwar working-class British households used to “smooth” consumption over time and guard against negative contingencies such as illness, unemployment, and death. Newly discovered returns from the U.K. Ministry of Labour's 1937/38 Household Expenditure Survey are used to fully categorize expenditure smoothing via nineteen credit/savings vehicles. We find that households made extensive use of expenditure-smoothing device…
Sales and Advertising Expenditure for Interwar American Department Stores
Department stores represented one of the most advertising-intensive sectors of American interwar retailing. Yet it has been argued that a competitive spiral of high advertising spending, to match the challenge of other local department stores, contributed to an inflation of operating costs that eroded long-term competitiveness. We test these claims, using both qualitative archival data and establishment-level national data sets. The quantitative …
