He grew up to become a prominent economist and sociologist, producing many books and articles, and is often remembered for his use evolutionary theory to develop a 20th century theory of economics. This particular work is an economic treatise and detailed social critique of conspicuous consumption as a function of social-class consumerism. It claims that the division of labour of the feudal period has continued into the modern era. This is a must read for anyone with an interest in the influential ideas of this renowned thinker.
