... as if they have been blanketed with the American culture. During my research, I found that the American fast-food restaurant, McDonald’s Corporation, while playing an integral role in Americanizing Europe, also helped to preserve the distinctive European culture. The emergence of consumerism in postwar Europe coincided with a substantial growth in personal and disposable income.
