The Theory of the Leisure Class
No, Max Weber did not develop the term "conspicuous consumption." This concept was coined by Thorstein Veblen in his book "The Theory of the Leisure Class" published in 1899. Veblen used the term to describe the consumption of goods and services for the purpose of displaying wealth and status rather than for personal use.
