That mordant critic of the social scene, the economist Thorstein Veblen, in his classic *Theory of the Leisure Class*, invented a phrase to describe the way the great nineteenth-century American *nouveaux riches* like the Vanderbilts and Rockefellers once employed their surplus wealth in competitive display. He called it ‘conspicuous consumption’: the building of the great Rhode Island mansions which they barely used, the throwing of the massive parties which none but the hideously rich could equal. Driven by such sumptuary competition, they sometimes reached the point which Veblen identified as ‘conspicuous waste’ – the spending of very large amounts of money simply to defeat their rivals in a war of pointless ostentation.
Painfully Rich
John Pearson
Our task today is to find singular ways to create the new things that will make the future not just different, but better to go from 0 to 1. The essential first step is to think for yourself. Only by seeing our world anew, as fresh and strange as it was to the ancients who saw it first, can we both re-create it and preserve it for the future.
Zero to One
Peter Phiel
All the idealism of mankind, hitherto, is on the point of turning into Nihilism—may be shown to be a belief in absolute worthlessness, i.e. purposelessness.
The Will to Power
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
