Book Description
Veblen was a sociologist as much as he was an economist. “The Theory of the Leisure Class: An Economic Study of Institutions” is a treatise on economics and a social critique of conspicuous consumption, as a function of social class and of consumerism. Published in 1899, it presents the evolutionary development of human institutions (social and economic) that shape society.
