“The Theory of the Leisure Class” is a seminal work by American economist and sociologist Thorstein Veblen, first published in 1899. In this book, Veblen introduces the concept of “conspicuous consumption”, describing how the affluent display wealth through extravagant spending to signal social status. He also discusses “conspicuous leisure”, where the privileged class engages in non-productive activities to exhibit freedom from labor. Veblen critically examines how these behaviors perpetuate social stratification and influence economic and cultural institutions.
The book remains influential in understanding consumer behavior and social dynamics, especially in contemporary contexts where luxury goods and lifestyles continue to serve as markers of status.
