Features: The main purpose of this book is to discuss the status and value of the leisure class as an economic factor in modern life. However, it is impossible to strictly confine the discussion to this stated scope. Therefore, the origins and evolution of institutions, as well as some social life characteristics generally not included within the realm of economics, must also receive considerable attention here.
