Reviews
"With great mastery, [Rosenfeld] traces the enormous changes that have reshaped the Western world, and not only the Western world, over the last two and a half centuries. Combining stylistic verve with analytical acuity, she dissects a series of issues as varied as they are complex within which the concept of choice has changed: from the birth of capitalism to freedom of religious conscience, from consent in sexual relations to universal suffrage... The Age of Choice is anything but a celebration of freedom of choice as unconditional progress. Rather, it highlights the paradoxes and contradictions that have accompanied its almost undisputed triumph." ---Francesca Trivellato, Il Sole 24 Ore, "Excellent . . . very insightful. . . . [The book is] an invitation to think about the way our nature as choosers interacts with social and economic forms throughout history." ---Paul Schofield, Jacobin, "Book reviewers often say a particular work should be 'required reading,' as if all of us were still subject to syllabi. But you have a choice, dear reader. Are you suspicious of the spread of the language of "choice" from one end of the political spectrum to the other? Are you dissatisfied with the choices on offer? Do you yearn to choose otherwise, or to refuse to choose? Then choose Rosenfeld!" ---Henry Cowles, Los Angeles Review of Books, "Historian Sophia Rosenfeld offers a rich, compelling account of how the experience of choosing ceased to be the object of suspicion and condemnation and became instead the hallmark, at least in liberal, democratic societies, of any life worth living." ---Stephen Greenblatt, New York Times, "Perceptive and nimble. . . . Rosenfeld has a knack for zooming in on seemingly ordinary objects, interpreting them in unexpected ways, and using them to reframe our picture of the modern world. . . . In The Age of Choice , she assembles an eclectic mix of everyday objects like menus alongside social practices like ballroom dancing, political debates about issues like voting rights, and high philosophy, reading those varied texts to piece together the story of the ideology of choice." ---Andrew Lanham, The New Republic, "It's a good book. Rosenfeld's a really good writer." ---Vinson Cunningham, New Yorker's Critics at Large podcast, "An immensely informative and engaging account of how the concept took hold, evolved, and spread throughout the world. Drawing on an extraordinary array of sources, Rosenfeld examines the emergence of choice in shopping, romantic life, politics, and human rights declarations; the different implications of choice for women and men; interpretations of choice by psychologists and economists; and the ways in which 'choice architects' have capitalized on, manipulated, and constrained the practice of 'autonomous' decision-making." ---Glenn Altschuler , Psychology Today, At a time when we are awash with options--indeed, drowning in them--Rosenfeld's analysis of how our modern idea of 'freedom' became bound up in the idea of personal choice feels especially timely, touching on everything from politics to romance., "I love this book. I really think this is a great book . . . . She's a very good writer." ---Alexandra Schwartz, New Yorker's Critics at Large podcast, "Rosenfeld is engaging and illuminating. . . . We can be grateful that she has given us the long historical perspective that prompts us to rethink the role of choice in our lives." ---Victoria Kahn, Times Literary Supplement, "Brilliant. . . . The history of choice sprawls more widely than even this capacious book can cover. But Rosenfeld is an exceptionally acute guide to its terrain, its contradictions, its practices, and its blind spots. This is not just another book about thinkers. It is something more ambitious: a history book to think with." ---Daniel T. Rodgers, Hedgehog Review, "An immensely informative and engaging account of how the concept took hold, evolved, and spread throughout the world. Drawing on an extraordinary array of sources, Rosenfeld examines the emergence of choice in shopping, romantic life, politics, and human rights declarations; the different implications of choice for women and men; interpretations of choice by psychologists and economists; and the ways in which 'choice architects' have capitalized on, manipulated, and constrained the practice of 'autonomous' decision-making." ---Glenn Altschuler , Los Angeles Review of Books, "Perceptive and nimble. . . . Rosenfeld has a knack for zooming in on seemingly ordinary objects, interpreting them in unexpected ways, and using them to reframe our picture of the modern world. . . . In The Age of Choice , she assembles an eclectic mix of everyday objects like menus alongside social practices like ballroom dancing, political debates about issues like voting rights, and high philosophy, reading those varied texts to piece together the story of the ideology of choice." ---Andrew Lanham, New Republic, "An important story, but one that remained largely hidden. . . . The Age of Choice wants to suggest a way forward out of our present dilemmas. What it has accomplished is to show, with brilliance and originality, just how deep those dilemmas are." ---David A. Bell, New York Review of Books, "[Rosenfeld] uses idolatry for a distinct reason, suggesting that we might be reaching a golden-calf moment: As shiny and captivating as choice has been for so long, it is revealing itself as a hollow source of identity and a distraction from what really matters." ---Gal Beckerman, The Atlantic

Synopsis
A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice A sweeping history of the rise of personal choice in the modern world and how it became equated with freedom Choice touches virtually every aspect of our lives, from what to buy and where to live to whom to love, what profession to practice, and even what to believe. But the option to choose in such matters was not something we always possessed or even aspired to. At the same time, we have been warned by everybody from marketing gurus to psychologists about the negative consequences stemming from our current obsession with choice. It turns out that not only are we not very good at realizing our personal desires, we are also overwhelmed with too many possibilities and anxious about what best to select. There are social costs too. How did all this happen? The Age of Choice tells the long history of the invention of choice as the defining feature of modern freedom. Taking readers from the seventeenth century to today, Sophia Rosenfeld describes how the early modern world witnessed the simultaneous rise of shopping as an activity and religious freedom as a matter of being able to pick one's convictions. Similarly, she traces the history of choice in romantic life, politics, and the ideals of human rights. Throughout, she pays particular attention to the lives of women, those often with the fewest choices, who have frequently been the drivers of this change. She concludes with an exploration of how reproductive rights have become a symbolic flashpoint in our contemporary struggles over the association of liberty with choice. Drawing on a wealth of sources ranging from novels and restaurant menus to the latest scientific findings about choice in psychology and economics, The Age of Choice urges us to rethink the meaning of choice and its promise and limitations in modern life.
