Theory of the Leisure Class (Illustrated)

• The book is an edited and illustrated version of the original one and includes 18 or more unique illustrations which are relevant to its content.
• Veblen's landmark study of affluent American society exposes the 'pecuniary culture' and 'conspicuous consumption' that results when unessential goods are exploited at the expense of production of true value. This new edition examines Veblen's still pertinent arguments.
