【 摘 要 】

This article intends to evaluate the notion of “work refusal” which can be found within Veblen’s work about conspicuous consumption and the symbolic of places. This article is divided in two parts. First, we will expose and revise Veblen’s thesis about the function of “work refusal” as a distinctive mark of the Leisure Class. Secondly, we will confront Veblen’s heritage to contemporary social phenomenon. For that reason, we will study the cases of the relationship of employed youth to work and the military. We will show that the refusal work stays a main principle of differentiation within social groups.
