Dear All,

A young lady in our department asked if I could point her in the right direction for source material on "...gendered conspicuous consumption, and its role in occupational mobility."  I gave her some very general Veblenian stuff, but thought that someone here might have something more specific to offer her.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

John
