托斯丹·凡勃伦《有闲阶级论》· The Theory of the Leisure Class · 投资
In what has been said of the evolution of the vicarious leisure class and its differentiation from the general body of the working classes, reference has been made to a further division of labour,--that between the different servant classes. One portion of the servant class, chiefly those persons whose occupation is vicarious leisure, come to undertake a new, subsidiary range of duties--the vicarious consumption of goods. The most obvious form in which this consumption occurs is seen in the wearing of liveries and the occupation of spacious servants' quarters. Another, scarcely less obtrusive or less effective form of vicarious consumption, and a much more widely prevalent one, is the consumption of food, clothing, dwelling, and furniture by the lady and the rest of the domestic establishment.

白话
在讨论代理有闲阶级的演化及其与劳动阶级的分化时,已提到仆人阶级内部的分工。一部分仆人,主要是从事代理休闲的人,开始承担新的附属职责——代理消费商品。最明显的形式是穿制服和住宽敞的仆人房。另一种几乎同样显眼且更普遍的形式,是女主人及其他家庭成员对食物、衣服、住宅和家具的消费。
