Thorstein Veblen (1857-1929) was an American economist and sociologist. His most famous work, The Theory of the Leisure Class: An Economic Study of Institutions (1899), is a treatise on economics and a social critique of consumption and of consumerism, based on the social stratification of people and the division of labor. This work is in the tradition of Adam Smith’s Wealth of Nations and is rightly considered a classic of economic theory and social history.

America is polarised, first and foremost, by identity. Everyone engaged in American politics is engaged, at some level, in identity politics. 

¿Cómo pudo un espía pasar años sin ser detectado en los más altos niveles del Pentágono? ¿Qué llevó a Neville Chamberlain a creer que podía confiar en Adolf Hitler? ¿Qué tienen en común esos casos con el engaño de Bernie Madoff, el juicio de Amanda Knox, el suicidio de Sylvia Plath o la comedia de televisión Friends?

Ein fundiertes Plädoyer für eine Gesellschaft, die der Verfügbarkeit der Welt Grenzen setzt Der Soziologie-Bestseller als Hörbuch!
