Age of High Consumption

The age of high mass consumption marks a significant milestone in economic development, characterized by a robust industrial base and a burgeoning service sector. While the U.S. led the way in the 1920s, many countries followed suit post-World War II, transitioning from luxury goods to widespread access to high-value consumer products. This shift reflects a broader transformation from industrial economies to service-oriented ones, highlighting the evolving landscape of global consumption patterns.
