托斯丹·凡勃伦《有闲阶级论》· The Theory of the Leisure Class · 投资
In the older communities of the European culture, the hereditary leisure class, together with the mass of the indigent population, are given to devout observances in an appreciably higher degree than the average of the industrious middle class, wherever a considerable class of the latter character exists. But in some of these countries, the two categories of conservative humanity named above comprise virtually the whole population. Where these two classes greatly preponderate, their bent shapes popular sentiment to such an extent as to bear down any possible divergent tendency in the inconsiderable middle class, and imposes a devout attitude upon the whole community.

凡勃伦说,在欧洲古老社区,世袭有闲阶级和贫困大众比勤劳的中产阶级更虔诚,只要中产阶级有一定规模。但有些国家这两类保守人群几乎占全部人口。他们占绝对多数时,其倾向塑造大众情感,压倒下层中产阶级的任何异见,把虔诚态度强加给整个社区。
上下文
