Discover Eula Biss's compelling exploration of capitalism and affluence in 'Having and Being Had.' This thought-provoking book, published by The Text Publishing Company in 2020, delves into the intricate relationship between consumer culture and personal identity. Biss, acclaimed for her distinctive voice and insightful observations, candidly shares her journey from a life without a washing machine to homeownership, prompting readers to reflect on their own value systems. This trade paperback, spanning 336 pages, serves as a radical self-audit of modern life, questioning the true cost of convenience and the definition of wealth. With her unique blend of humor and profound inquiry, Biss engages with everyday experiences, from shopping at IKEA to cultural phenomena like Beyoncé and Pokémon. This book is not merely a narrative; it's a mirror reflecting our social fabric and the choices we make within it. Ideal for readers interested in sociology, personal narrative, and critiques of consumerism, 'Having and Being Had' invites you to interrogate the unwritten rules that govern our lives. Explore how our investments—emotional, financial, and social—shape our identities and communities. Indulge in a book that challenges you to rethink work, leisure, and what it means to truly own something in today's fast-paced world. Perfect for anyone looking to understand the implications of capitalism on our everyday lives, this work stands out as a significant contribution to contemporary literature on affluence and identity.

These shoes are great.

I like the look of these shoes. They can be used for a casual event or even an event that is more formal. They look great with jeans.

Good Quality
Size: 11, Color: White
Nice looking shoe. Slides on easy. My only feedback would be I wish the toe box was a bit wider and the heel a bit higher. It's a good shoe overall. I would buy again.
