Paperback. Condición: Very Good. In The Theory of the Leisure Class, Thorstein Veblen employs a satirical and incisive examination of social stratification and consumer behavior in late 19th-century America. The book critiques the ostentatious consumption patterns of the wealthy, condemning the social norms that equate status with leisure and conspicuous consumption. Veblen's prose interweaves sociological analysis with economic theory, illuminating how the leisure class perpetuates itself through displays of wealth that serve as markers of social superiority, thus challenging prevailing notions of economic productivity and virtue. Thorstein Veblen, an American economist and sociologist, was profoundly influenced by the societal changes of the Gilded Age, a period marked by rapid industrialization and stark economic inequality. His background in the structural and ethical concerns of economics informed his critique of capitalism's moral failings. Veblen's unique perspective was shaped by his academic experiences and his awareness of the contradictions inherent in a society driven by capitalist values. The Theory of the Leisure Class remains an essential read for those interested in the intersections of economics, sociology, and cultural criticism. Veblen's work not only dissects the practices of the wealthy but also invites readers to reflect on the implications of their own consumption habits, making this an invaluable text for contemporary discussions surrounding class and inequality.…

paperback. Condición: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…
