A book review: Łukasz Goryszewski, Styles of consumption of Polish upper class, NOMOS Publishing House, Kraków 2014, pp. 293

Summary/Abstract: The author of the text has discussed the study of Łukasz Goryszewski titled Styles of consumption of Polish upper class (2014). In the case of multiplicity of readings on the phenomenon of consumption available on the market, one should pay attention to this position, because it concerns the issue of consumption of a specific group – Polish upper class. The subject of wealth is widely present in the daily press, but it is relatively rarely examined by scientific research. Empirical studies on wealth are much more neglected in comparison to the studies on poverty. The book by Łukasz Goryszewski provides the reader with the insight into the styles of consumption (of selected goods and services: cars, clothes, housing and ways of spending leisure time) of the representatives of the Polish upper class. The analysis of the image of the Polish elite outlined in the selected series and magazines complements the obtained picture.
