Description

'We're all now self-makers, whether we like it or not - and this witty, sceptical book is the thought-provoking story of how we got here'
GUARDIAN

'A fast-moving train of a book'
NEW YORK TIMES

'Funny, startling . . . a must read'
PETER POMERANTSEV, author of This Is Not Propaganda

'Revelatory'
FRANCIS FUKUYAMA, author of The Origins of Political Order

As the forces of social media and capitalism collide, cultivating our 'personal brands' has become the norm. But this phenomenon is not new.

Instagram culture is part of a story that goes back centuries.

From the Renaissance genius to the Regency dandy, Hollywood's Golden Age to today's Silicon Valley and reality TV stars, Self-Made takes us on a dazzling tour of modern history's most prominent self-makers, uncovering both self-making's liberatory power, and the dangers this idea can unleash.

So far, we have reused

books.

Sweden's friendliest and environmental friendliest bookshop with the lowest priced textbooks.

This is our ambition, and we do what it takes to get there. We are here to help students to save and earn money on their textbooks while we at the same time save the environment. We were started in 2005 by two students and have since strived to constantly make it easier to buy and sell used textbooks for as many as possible.
