Luxury and Sacrifice(1898)
Author: Charles Fletcher Dole (an American minister in the Unitarian Church)
Unlike many historical books about luxury goods which tend to warn of their destructive power, or which seek to use luxury as a way to regulate cultural divisions, it’s a clear-sighted treatise about the role of luxury as a social tool to connect people to the sacred.
