"Picture a familiar scene: long lines of shoppers waiting to check out at the grocery
store, carts filled to the brim with the week's food. While many might wonder what
is in each cart, Andrew Warnes implores us to consider the symbolism of the cart itself.
In his inventive new book, Warnes examines how the everyday shopping cart is connected
to a complex web of of food production and consumption that has spread from the United
States throughout the world. Today, shopping carts represent choice and individual
autonomy for consumers, a recognizable American way of life that has become a global
phenomenon. This succinct and and accessible book provides an excellent overview of
consumerism and the globalization of American culture that is relevant to numerous
fields of study"--Provided by publisher
