Features: "Social Transformation and Consumption Revolution—Changes in Urban Consumption Concepts in China" takes a unique approach, starting from another dimension of human social development, namely the perspective of consumption. It uses consumption society theory as the research framework and combines methods such as sample surveys, in-depth interviews, and case studies. While verifying and examining the current state of residents' consumption concepts and the evolution of consumption concepts across different eras, it also discusses the "bottlenecks" constraining economic development and how to establish spiritual values compatible with the upcoming consumption society. The features of the book "Social Transformation and Consumption Revolution—Changes in Urban Consumption Concepts in China" are primarily reflected in the following aspects: First, pioneering research on how individuals, society, and nature can coexist harmoniously in a consumption society. Second, innovative theoretical perspectives and research methods. Third, high practical value and realistic significance.
