I'm intrigued by your recommendation of "Metropolitan". It isn't available to stream on the usual channels, and costs about £18 on Amazon. Do you know of anywhere else to procure it? Thanks.

As I read this I thought of all the books which are now ‘a history of X in ten things/people/moments’. I’m not always sure even the people who write and read books can cope with longer, sustained narratives anymore!

Great to read alongside this superb piece from Sam Mace:

Loved the post, but less sanguine about the new name, Cultural Capital. (I had a professor obsessed with Bourdieu when I was in graduate school.) I’ll get accustomed to it though. Anyway, I subscribe for the terrific content!
