I wrote two books:
• Ametora, a cultural history of Japanese menswear
• Status and Culture, a general theory explaining how culture works, and how social competition leads to creativity, change, and stability (+ how the internet altered the entire model)

Hey! Do you know where I can buy them in Spain? Amazon takes forever and wants over 20 € of shipping.

I read Status and Culture and enjoyed it a lot. Find myself often quoting the book. I have 187 highlights from it in

"Ametora" is great and I recommend it to anyone remotely insterested in fashion. Looking forward to checking out the other book.

Part 4 of Status and Culture may be the most explanatory piece of analysis I've read in years - first coherent case for understanding the dynamics of current cultural moment - recommended it to many
