Beschrijving

Bol The Theory of the Leisure Class (1899) by Thorstein Veblen is a critical analysis of modern consumer society. Veblen argues that in capitalist economies, social status is displayed through conspicuous consumption and conspicuous leisure-the public display of wealth and unproductive activities to signal prestige rather than utility. He traces these behaviors to earlier societies where a leisure class emerged, exempt from manual labor, and shows how their values come to dominate cultural standards of success. The book critiques how these status-driven habits encourage waste, reinforce inequality, and shape tastes, institutions, and economic behavior in ways that are often irrational and socially harmful.
