The Theory of the Leisure Class

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This classic of economic thought is a scathing critique of American snobbery and wastefulness. Chief among the practices that Veblen so wittily satirizes is "conspicuous consumption", a pattern of behaviour that still flourishes among us.
