This classic two-volume work, first published in 1871, was highly influential in the establishment of cultural evolution as the basis for anthropologic studies. Author Edward B. Tylor is widely regarded as the founder of anthropology as a scientific discipline. Volume 1 focuses on social evolution, language, and myth. Almost a century after its original publication, Thorstein Veblen\'s work is as fresh and relevant as ever. Veblen\'s The Theory of the Leisure Class is in the tradition of Adam Smith\'s The Wealth of Nations and Thomas Hobbes\'s Leviathan, yet it provides a surprisingly contemporary look at American economics and society. Establishing such terms as conspicuous consumption and pecuniary emulation, Veblen\'s most famous work has become an archetype not only of economic theory, but of historical and sociological thought as well. As sociologist Alan Wolfe writes in his Introduction, Veblen skillfully . . . wrote a book that will be read so long as the rich are different from the rest of us which, if the future is anything like the past, they always will be. In this concise text, the distinguished American philosopher John Dewey compiled excerpts from the massive Progress and Poverty to provide those unfamiliar with Henry George\'s work with the essence of the author\'s thinking on economics. In his Foreword, Dewey noted, It would require less than the fingers of the two hands to enumerate those who from Plato down rank with [George]. No man, no graduate of a higher educational institution, has a right to regard himself as an educated man in social thought unless he has some first-hand acquaintance with the theoretical contribution of this great American thinker. Fifteen brief chapters feature passages from George\'s highly influential book and examine why poverty persists throughout periods of economic and technological progress as well as the basis for economic cycles of boom and bust.
