About this book
Theory Of Leisure Class
Author: Thorstein Veblen
Year: 1899
Thorstein Veblen’s theory of the leisure class , presented in The Theory of the Leisure Class (1899), explains how wealthy groups use conspicuous consumption and conspicuous leisure to display social status rather than to meet real needs. Written during the late 19th century amid rapid industrialization and rising inequality in the United States, the work strongly influenced sociology and economics by shaping modern critiques of consumer culture and social class.
