- Title
Die politische Repräsentation der Konsumenten nach dem Ende des Ersten Weltkrieges.
- Authors
Torp, Claudius
- Abstract
This article focuses on how consumers were represented by European politicians after World War I. Several topics are discussed, including how people in urban areas in Europe increased their consumption of material goods drastically after the war ended, which forced politicians to focus their communications on the wants of the Europeans consumers rather than on just their basic needs, how the politicization of the rights of consumers caused similar issues in countries such as France, Great Britain, and the German Realm (also called the Weimar Republic), and how the way rations were handled and the way people were forced to be frugal during World War I affected their spending habits after the war was over.
