Description: Full title: The Theory of the Leisure Class: an Economic Study of Institutions. This famed work is vital to an understanding of captialism and the rat-chase of social standing, wealth accumulation, and the vicious cycle of the wealthy protecting the status quo so as to remain wealthy, and even become more so. Thorstein Veblen was a vocal critic of Capitalism, seeing the woes it caused everyday Americans in a time that had yet to face a sever economic crisis; how ominous is it, then, that his death in 1929 predated the Stock Market Crash and the Great Depression in full by only two months. This is one of those texts that ought to be read and spoken about, preserved and protected. That is what makes this Modern Library copy both important and humble. Printed by the Modern Library in 1934. just five years after Veblen's death, his words would have been heavy on the hearts of readers, his warnings sounding like those of a prophet. Perhaps the same can be said today, and perhaps this time, we can honor the meaning of those words before it is too late.
