Ext. shot of boat on river - day
It was a man called Thorstein Veblen who invented the idea of 'the leisure class'... This one's new. Selling boats on a website, but also owns a string of b and b's. It makes sense to diversify. None of them are in his name of course. He's probably far too sussed to get a prosecution.. if only they all knew that admitting nothing is 90% of the answer to getting away with everything... I reckon the 'leisure class' would be twice the size it already is. Not that this leisure class is quite like Mr Veblens'. His idea was that most societies produce a limited number of upper class, superior folk, who would spend most of their time engaged in doing things high in status and pay - but relatively low on use.
We didn't have a welfare state when Veblen was working...
oop - movement - he's in...
Wild goose chase this one.
he was an economist... i've been researching a few things lately... along with looking at the world with a different eye - so to speak - after my pink rabbit incident.
Anyway - the leisure class - there he is.... Bastard.
