re: #105 Absalom, Absalom, Obdicut

Have you ever read Veblen’s The Theory of the Leisure Class? It’s a really brilliant examination of why people do stupid conspicuous consumption and conspicuous waste.

No… but I will have to make a point to now. If I can’t find a copy on engraved golden plates, bound in virgin albino whale skin, I’ll get it for my tablet tomorrow.

Thanks,
