RARE SURVIVING BOOK: Has blue balloon cloth with very faded spine; gold torchbearer on front; blue tinted top edge; pages clean. DJ unclipped, 95 cents a copy; covered in mylar; has a tear. SUMMARY: (Still Very Relev…ant in the 21st Century) Veblen asserts that the contemporary lords of the manor, the businessmen who own the means of production, have employed themselves in the economically unproductive practices of conspicuous consumption and conspicuous leisure, which are useless activities that contribute neither to the economy nor to the material production of the useful goods and services required for the functioning of society, while it is the middle class and the working class who are usefully employed in the industrialised, productive occupations that support the whole of society.
