More about the book
Focusing on the concept of conspicuous consumption, this economic treatise critiques social-class consumerism and its roots in feudal labor divisions. Thorstein Veblen, a notable economist and sociologist, explores how these historical patterns persist in modern society. First published in 1899, the work remains influential in understanding economic behavior and class dynamics. The edition includes a new introductory biography, enhancing its accessibility for contemporary readers interested in Veblen's significant contributions to economic thought.
