The Theory of the Leisure Class by Thorstein Veblen
Argues that economics is essentially a study of the economic aspects of human culture, which are in a constant state of flux. This book argues that while industry itself demanded diligence, efficiency, and co-operation, businessmen in opposition to engineers and industrialists were only interested in making money and displaying their wealth.Thorstein Veblen (1857-1929) was an American economist and social commentator who lived from 1857 to 1929. He taught at Chicago and Missouri universities, Stanford University, and the New School for Social Research. The Theory of Business Enterprise, The Higher Learning in America, and The Theory of the Leisure Class, all published by Transaction, are among his many works.
