Beschrijving

Originally published in 1898 by Norwegian-American economist Thorstein Veblen during his tenure at the University of Chicago, Theory of the Leisure Class stands as a groundbreaking critique of consumerism and a pivotal work in economics. Veblen boldly challenges the conventional ideas of utility, revealing how our economic behaviors are intricately connected to social customs that have persisted since our prehistoric ancestors. This insightful exploration not only delves into the nature of consumption but also examines the cultural and societal implications that still resonate today. (Summary modified from Wikipedia)
