by Thorstein Veblen (Author), Robert Lekachman (Author), Thorsten Veblen (Author)
This classic of economic thought is a scathing critique of American snobbery and wastefulness. Chief among the practices that Veblen so wittily satirizes is 'conspicuous consumption', a pattern of behaviour that still flourishes among us.
