A review by rick_sam
The Theory of the Leisure Class by Thorstein Veblen

3.0

Veblen was a Norwegian American writing this around early 1900's.

I came across this book after reading Adam Smith. Veblen is focused mostly on the social ladder, conspicuous leisure, consumption.

He takes a darwinian approach to social evolution in society. I learnt new words like occidental, which means Western. I would recommend this book only if you want to know about society from an evolutionary perspective.
