在这本书中，作者展现了欧美民众如何将糖从一种罕见的异域奢侈品转变为现代生活的日常必需品，以及它如何改变了资本主义与工业的历史。他探讨了糖的生产与消费，并揭示了糖作为欧洲热带殖民地种植的“奴隶”作物的起源，与其起初作为贵族挥霍的奢侈品、继而演变为新工业无产阶级主食的用途之间，存在着多么紧密的交织。最后，他探讨了糖在现代如何改变了人们的工作模式、饮食习惯和日常食谱。

…version of industrialization. Of course, then you get into the whole debate about whether a slave society has an economic impetus to industrialize (I think they do, following Sidney Mintz's point in "Sweetness and Power" that Caribbean sugar plantations in the 18th century were proto-industrial, factory-like spaces, but that's another discussion).
人类学家兼历史学家西敏司写过一本叫《甜与权力》（Sweetness and Power）的书，核心论点是我们消费糖的方式其实并非那么随性。根据西敏司的说法，糖的生产处在转型……的核心。
There is a book called Sweetness and Power by the anthropologist and historian Sidney Mintz with a thesis that the way we consume sugar is not actually so arbitrary. According to Mintz, the production of sugar was at the heart of the transition…
