Sinossi

The Theory of the Leisure Class - An Economic Study of Institutions (1899), by Thorstein Veblen, is a treatise of economics and sociology, and a critique of conspicuous consumption as a function of social class and of consumerism, which are social activities derived from the social stratification of people and the division of labor; the social institutions of the feudal period (9th–15th c.) that have continued to the modern era.

Thorstein Bunde Veblen (July 30, 1857 – August 3, 1929) was an American economist and sociologist who, during his lifetime, emerged as a well-known critic of capitalism.

In his best-known book, The Theory of the Leisure Class (1899), Veblen coined the concepts of conspicuous consumption and conspicuous leisure. Historians of economics regard Veblen as the founding father of the institutional economics school. Contemporary economists still theorize Veblen's distinction between "institutions" and "technology", known as the Veblenian dichotomy.

    Secrets of Attorney Marketing...

    I have a confession to make. I didn't write a single word of this book back in 2013, 2017, 2022, and now 2025. And no, I didn’t use “AI” to write this 4th edition you’re now reading. 
    Instead of using a ghostwriter or writing the book myself, I spoke the content over a period of 15+ hours - I sat in front of my computer, used summary notes, spoke to the screen, recorded my voice, and had it transcribed. I then edited, taking out the “um’s”, and the “uh’s”, and corrected the grammar of my spoken sentences. That’s how I spoke, not wrote this book. 
    Later I’ll show you how and why ‘speaking a book’ (as opposed to “old fashioned writing”) is a profitable breakthrough you can use in your own law practice. Even in mid-2025 (when this 4th edition went to print), I didn’t use a lick of AI – it’s all my own words and thoughts. 
    Background: Richard Jacobs, Attorney Marketing Expert with Speakeasy Authority Marketing, Inc. 
    My name is Richard Jacobs, and I’ve been doing online and offline marketing for over 1,700 attorneys for the past 15 ½ years in Criminal Defense, Personal Injury, Family Law, Real Estate, Bankruptcy, Immigration, Civil Law, Estate Planning, Social Security / Disability, and more (19 practice areas total). 
    As you can see by the testimonials in this book and on www.SpeakeasyMarketingInc.com, we have tremendous depth of knowledge and longevity in working with small law firms like yours. We’ve gotten real results for real attorneys. Real means consistent, week in and week out, retainer-paying clients for our attorney clients.

    "A Simple Mindset Tweak Will Change Your Life.
    
    It started with a midnight insight. After a fifteen-year nightmare of coping with his chaotic business, Sam Carpenter discovered and then developed a simple methodology that knocked his routine 80-hour workweek down to near-zero, while multiplying his net income by a factor of one hundred. That was in 1999. Now, for 2025, here’s his bestselling business book in a completely updated post-COVID version, showing how you, too, can break free to build the business and life of your dreams . . . no matter the outside influences.
    
    In Work the System, Carpenter reveals the profound insights and exact, uncomplicated, mechanical steps necessary to turn any struggling business around . . . or to add substantial bottom-line to one that is not struggling. Once you “get” this startling vision, success and serenity will come quickly. You will learn to: 
    
    ·Make a simple perception adjustment that will change your life forever.
    ·See your world as a logical collection of linear systems that you can control.
    ·Manage the systems that produce results in your business and your life.
    ·Stop fire killing and become a fire-control specialist.
    ·Maximize profit, create client loyalty, and develop enthusiastic employees.
    ·Identify insidious “errors of omission.”
    ·Maximize your biological and mechanical “prime time.” 
    ·Design the life you want—and then, in the real world, create it!
    
    In the last five years, the socio/economic business world has been turned upside down, yet the very basics of business and life success have not changed. Whatever the outside world challenges, you can transform your businesses into a finely tuned machine that runs smoothly and profitably on autopilot. Make More. Work Less.
