This relaxed course will look at the historical, social, economic and legal issues that have given us the status of "consumer". How did our ancestors buy the things they needed then the things they wanted? We will consider the effects of industrialisation, mass-production, changing culture and increased regulation. We will look briefly at what the law says about contracts, misrepresentation, negligence, advertising and our rights in the 21st century.
