“Traditional baroque society is one in which appearance must correspond to being; a consumer society is one in which there are only appearances; and a bourgeois society is one in which appearance is dictated by one’s budget, which the bourgeois like to see balanced”.
Rémy G. Saisselin, The Enlightenment against the Baroque, University of California Press, 1992, 130
