The Commercialization Of Leisure (1917)

By James Peyton Sizer

Book Overview

The Commercialization of Leisure is a book written by James Peyton Sizer in 1917. This book explores the ways in which leisure activities, such as sports, entertainment, and travel, became commercialized in the early 20th century. Sizer argues that the commercialization of leisure was a response to the growing demand for leisure activities among the middle class. He examines the ways in which businesses and entrepreneurs capitalized on this demand, creating new industries and markets for leisure activities. Sizer also explores the social and cultural implications of the commercialization of leisure, including its impact on gender roles and class relations. Overall, The Commercialization of Leisure is a fascinating look at the intersection of business, culture, and leisure in the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
