He wrote about it accordingly. Veblen's prose is renowned for its ostentatious wit. Admirers praising his writing for its wordplay, detractors seeing him, as H.L. Mencken put it, "a geyser of pish-posh," Veblen's "leisure class" consists of social elites who use their rank to maintain power and prestige by controlling the production and distribution of goods and services. Veblen's theory draws on psychology, history, and other related fields to forge a non-marxist critique of capitalism, that was essential in formulation of much of 20th Century non-marxist left wing thought. This tradition was carried on by John Kenneth Galbraith into 21st Century and is today found in the work of Cambridge economist Ha-Joon Chang.. Book Condition: Very Good. Binding: Hardcover.
