- Summary:
- "On a recent visit to an archaeology museum, I was struck by the ornate jewelry dating from the early Bronze Age-bracelets, rings, and necklaces that look remarkably contemporary in design. People have always had a taste for fine things. And of course, these were objects for the wealthy, for those of high social status who were buried with their goods. While I have become accustomed to admiring such items during museum visits, my central thought on this trip was that luxury has always existed. This prosaic musing led me to consider the problematics around luxury. It's difficult to look at a high-end object without considering the struggles that have brought it into existence. Fancy things are inexorably linked to some sort of strife..."-- provided by distributor.
