THE THEORY OF THE LEISURE CLASS. An Economic study in the Evolution of Institutions.

The Macmillan Company. New York.,1899. FIRST EDITION. 8vo. (7.8 x 5.4 inches). viii, 400pp, 2pp publishers advert leaf. A very good, clean and bright copy that has at some stage got damp which has resulted in the bottom half of the pages being a bit 'wavy'. Luckily, whatever caused the damp did not leave a heavy stain. There is a faint watermark but generally the pages are clean and still quite bright. Please ask if you would like to see details photographs of the pages worst affected. Publishers dark green cloth with blind ruling (4 to the top and 3 to the bottom) of the boards. The spine is ruled and lettered in gilt. A faint semi-circular water mark is visible on both boards but again, like the pages inside, the book is actually quite clean and bright overall. Top edge gilt, others untrimmed. Generaly a very good copy of this classic work, listed in the Grolier Club 100 Influential books American books published before 1900. Part Economics, part Sociology, Veblen published his seminal work just in time for the twentieth century, when the Conspicuous Consumption that he criticised became like a competitive sport for many.:.

A Very Good++ Hardback in Original Green Cloth Binding with Gilt Lettering Spine. Minimal Cover Edge Wear, Stains and Soil Edges. 8vo. 445 Pp. Very Good++, Thorstein Bubde Veblen (1857-1929) was an American economist and sociologist whose writings employ wit and satire as means of driving his arguments. He is best known for his "Theory of the Leisure Class". But the current work, the last book published in his lifetime, is an under appreciated gem. With this title he popularized the notion of the absentee landlord. Veblen was among the first to point out in the post World War I period, the separation between the ownership and actual productivity of the economy. By this he meant that those who owned the machinery of industry neither did the work nor resided in the local area. We see this increasingly today with giant and multi-national corporation. His thesis that this produced profound negative effects for the community is still hotly debated..

In this provocation a few paragraphs have been added, at the end of the introductory chapter. Otherwise there appears to be no call for a change in the general argument, and it has not been disturbed since the earlier date, which is accordingly left as it stands." VERY GOOD HARDCOVER.
