Almost a century after its original publication, Thorstein Veblen\'s work is as fresh and relevant as ever. Veblen\'s The Theory of the Leisure Class is in the tradition of Adam Smith\'s The Wealth of Nations and Thomas Hobbes\'s Leviathan, yet it provides a surprisingly contemporary look at American economics and society.

As sociologist Alan Wolfe writes in his Introduction, Veblen skillfully . . . wrote a book that will be read so long as the rich are different from the rest of us which, if the future is anything like the past, they always will be.
