O knihe

One of the great thinkers of the early 20th century, American economist and sociologist THORSTEIN BUNDE VEBLEN (1857-1929) is best remembered for coining the phrase "conspicuous consumption." In the waning days of World War I, he turned his expertise on a pressing issue of the day: how to create a lasting, healthy peace, and how industry might contribute to it.

In this 1917 book, Veblen explores...
. how the concept of patriotism can undermine efforts toward peace
. how modern commerce can unify nations
. why honor must be sustained by surrendering nations
. how war in the 20th century is a battle between modes of government and national character
. and more.
