Soft-spoken male ASMR about department stores and the history of retail.
In this video, you are invited to discover how retail evolved from the Antiquity and its markets to today's malls, supermarkets and online stores. Purchasing products was very different in the past, and things like the display of products, customer service or fixed prices took centuries to appear. Department stores innovated in the 19th century and gave birth to modern retail, transforming shopping into entertainment and accompanying a dramatic change in the symbolic value of merchandise. Let's see how and why they did this, and how names like Saks, Bloomingdale's, Macy's, Sears, Harrods, Selfridges, Lewis's, Au Bon Marché, Printemps, Galeries Lafayette, Kaufhof, Mitsukoshi, La Rinascente or El Corte Ingles became household names in their respective countries, or even internationally.
