Veblen goods are not exclusive to america.

  Did you just comment to use the word Veblen? He said "'first-world' countries like America". You may be confusing the term "like" and "exclusive".

    Surely it was a reasonable reply to: "in fact, maybe it's almost a uniquely American thing"? I also found it a useful comment in that I now know the correct term for this sort of thing (Veblen goods).

    Your dictionary is sure getting a workout in this thread.
