    Description

    First Edition, Illustrated, Uncommon, With Dustwrapper

    The first edition of this uncommon work in the publisher's original cloth binding, with the original unclipped dust wrapper.

    An account of the life and the work of the American economist and sociologist Thorstein Veblen (1857-1929), who coined the concepts of 'conspicuous consumption' and 'conspicuous leisure'. Veblen's criticism of capitalism greatly influenced non-Marxist economists.

    This work was written by Joseph Dorfman, a specialist in the history of economic theory.

    Condition

    In the publisher's original cloth binding, with the original unclipped dust wrapper. Externally, cloth is in excellent condition. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean except for the odd spot to the fore edge and to the first and last few pages. Ink spot to the front free end paper. Dust wrapper is generally smart, though somewhat sunned, more so to the spine of the wrap. A little chipping to the head and tail of the spine of the wrap, with a loss to the tail of the spine of the wrap. Small repair to the verso of the wrap.

    Very Good
