Walvin states that tea started out as a primarily luxurious commodity only meant for the elite but with time grew to form a core part of every Briton’s ...

Exploring Post War Consumption

Canadian labor unions and movements have historically been sexist as all hell. This has potentially far-reaching implications both because of how much of the Canadian workforce was female and because what it might say about how Canadian labor leaders and organizations viewed various aspects of labor and how it affected their decisions and values. Feminist labor historians have pretty thoroughly proven that “many pre-Second World War laborists and leftists assumed that productive and political work outside the home was masculine,” and moreover associated “commodity production with muscular masculinity” (Belisle, 2005, p.642). Further, this caused labor leaders and thinkers “to ...

Comparing the 2008 Us Crisis with the Japan’s “Lost Decade”

Both the Japan’s lost decade and the 2008 United States and the world financial crisis were caused by excess savings and inflation of huge asset bubbles. By 1980s many Japanese resorted to a lot of savings on their income as they expected to retire. This translated negatively on the economy as it lowered the Gross Domestic Product and weakened local demand of commodities. Furthermore, much savings simply meant that the Japanese citizen had foregone consumption. However, this problem was disguised in the Japanese poor finance policy as well as financial technology. Inflation therefore arose from poor regulation of the ...

There was once a time when countries went to war for one of two reasons: to grow through conquest, or to defend one’s territory from incursion. If a country was having internal troubles, its neighbors would only provide military intervention if it wanted to take advantage of those troubles and add that country to their own holdings. All of that changed, though, after the Second World War.
