@oldbooksguy 'The theory of the leisure class' (1899) by Thorstein Veblen. Many of heard of it; few have actually read it. One of the funniest works of social & economic analysis ever written. A satirical, snarky, beautiful gem of a book. https://t.co/VDYN058ddj

1. Thorstein Veblen - The Theory of the Leisure Class Foundational text for understanding taste as an economic process: namely, the inevitability of New Money engaging in conspicuous consumption. Slightly tongue-in-cheek, but his arguments are more nuanced than often portrayed. https://t.co/jK1OcQP49T
