En savoir plus sur le livre

Focusing on the critique of consumerism, Veblen explores how economic behavior is influenced more by social traditions than by utility. He draws parallels between contemporary society and early tribal life, using examples from turn-of-the-century America and anthropology. The book introduces the concept of "conspicuous consumption," highlighting how social status and the display of wealth shape economic practices. This work serves as a foundational text in both economics and social theory.
