First Edition of Thorsten Veblen’s Classic First Work; The Theory of the Leisure Class
First edition. Octavo, original cloth. In near fine condition with only light shelfwear to the extremities.
Veblen's classic position on social status is intertwined with his interest in economic class and the political prospects of that class. The Vested Interests is squarely in that tradition. It aims to show how and why a discrepancy has arisen between the accepted principles of law and custom that underlie the business enterprise and the efficient management of industry. He also speculates on the civil and political difficulties inspired by this discrepancy between business civilization, and the social order.
