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.
