Hot Blonde, I remember coming across that book a couple of times but somehow I missed reading it. It has an interesting premise and I’ll bet it is still a good read. I should get a library card again and check it out.
“In the book, Veblen argues that economic life is driven not by notions of utility, but by social vestiges from pre-historic times. Drawing examples from his time (turn-of-the-century America) and anthropology, he held that much of today’s society is a variation on early tribal life.”
