The Theory of the Leisure Class (Unabridged)

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

Ever wonder why the wealthy seem to spend lavishly on things they don't need? In 'The Theory of the Leisure Class,' Thorstein Veblen cracks the code. Prepare to be surprised (and maybe a little disgusted) as he reveals the hidden motives behind conspicuous consumption and conspicuous leisure, where the wealthy flaunt their wealth not for utility, but for social status. Veblen's witty and scathing critique will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about the modern upper class and the true cost of keeping up appearances.
