After I die, wherever my spirit goes, I'm going to try to get back and visit my skeleton at least once a year, because, 'Hey, old buddy, how's it going?'

The Leisure Class

I was introduced to Thorstein Veblen in college while taking that mouthful of a class, “Economics, Industry, and Competitive Analysis.” (Actually one of my all-time favorite college classes.)

I hadn’t heard much about him since, but he turned up in a MeFi post. As it turns out, his seminal work “The Theory of the Leisure Class” was written long enough ago to be in the public domain, so it’s on Project Gutenberg. Check it. It’s not a light read, but it’s interesting.
