The Sum of Small Things: A Theory of the Aspirational Class Book review by Deane Barker • September 5, 2017 • tags: economics, behavior, society • Vaguely interesting book about how people spend their money on “luxury” items in order to publicly denote a certain level of social class. Lots of figures, graphs, etc. Not 100% of the point that it was trying to get at, honestly.
