Download The Portable Veblen AudioBook Free
A riotously funny and deeply insightful excursion through capitalism, the medical industry, family, love, warfare and wedding ceremony planning - from an electrically interesting new tone. Meet Veblen: a separate defender of the anticonsumerist views of her namesake, the iconoclastic economist Thorstein Veblen. She's an experienced cheerer-upper (mainly of her narcissistic, hypochondriac, controlling mom), an amateur translator of Norwegian and a company believer in the distinctive opportunity that the plucky gray squirrel following her around can understand more than it lets on. Meet her fiancé, Paul: the boy of good hippies who had been bad parents, a no-nonsense, high-flying neuroscientist with no time for squirrels. His recent focus on a device to minimise battlefield stress has led him dangerously close to the seductive Cloris Hutmacher, heiress to a pharmaceuticals empire, who's promising him fame and fortune through the shady-sounding offer with the department of defence. What may go wrong?
