Absentee ownership and business enterprise in recent times; the case of America written by Veblen, Thorstein
The book provides an inquiry into economic issues and the influence in shaping up America in the 20th century. According to the author, Veblen, the aspect of absentee ownership provides one of the main principles that influence the people’s interest within the civilized society.

The book presents the author’s peculiar ironic philosophy concerning the current economic problems. According to the author, the early days were represented by the giants of business empires who commanded respect but later reduced into faceless bureaucracies.
