托斯丹·凡勃伦《有闲阶级论》· The Theory of the Leisure Class · 投资
The ethnic types of today, then, are variants of the primitive racial types. They have suffered some alteration, and have attained some degree of fixity in their altered form, under the discipline of the barbarian culture. The man of the hereditary present is the barbarian variant, servile or aristocratic, of the ethnic elements that constitute him. But this barbarian variant has not attained the highest degree of homogeneity or of stability. The barbarian culture--the predatory and quasi-peaceable cultural stages--though of great absolute duration, has been neither protracted enough nor invariable enough in character to give an extreme fixity of type. Variations from the barbarian human nature occur with some frequency, and these cases of variation are becoming more noticeable today, because the conditions of modern life no longer act consistently to repress departures from the barbarian normal. The predatory temperament does not lead itself to all the purposes of modern life, and more especially not to modern industry.

白话
今天的族群类型是原始种族的变体,在野蛮文化训练下有所改变并趋于固定。现代人是野蛮人的变体,或是奴性或贵族性。但这种变体并未达到高度同质或稳定,因为野蛮文化虽长,却不够持久和不变,无法极固定类型。偏离野蛮人性的变异时有发生,如今更明显,因为现代生活不再一致压制偏离。掠夺性情不适应现代生活,尤其不适应现代工业。
