托斯丹·凡勃伦《有闲阶级论》· The Theory of the Leisure Class · 投资
It has already been noticed that modern economic institutions fall into two roughly distinct categories--the pecuniary and the industrial. The like is true of employments. Under the former head are employments that have to do with ownership or acquisition; under the latter head, those that have to do with workmanship or production. As was found in speaking of the growth of institutions, so with regard to employments. The economic interests of the leisure class lie in the pecuniary employments; those of the working classes lie in both classes of employments, but chiefly in the industrial. Entrance to the leisure class lies through the pecuniary employments.

白话
凡勃伦把现代经济制度分成两类：金钱的和产业的。职业也类似：一类涉及所有权或获取，一类涉及手艺或生产。有闲阶级的经济利益在金钱类职业里；工人阶级两类都沾，但主要在产业类。进入有闲阶级的门路，是金钱类职业。也就是说，社会地位不是靠生产东西，而是靠占有和交易来获得的。这解释了为什么人们更看重能赚钱、能显示身份的工作，而不是真正制造产品的劳动。
上下文
凡勃伦《有闲阶级论》区分金钱职业与产业职业，说明阶级流动的路径。
今日一问
你更尊重制造产品的人，还是更羡慕占有和交易的人？
