Synopsis

The Itching Palm: A Study Of The Habit Of Tipping In America is a book written by William Rufus Scott and published in 1916. The book examines the cultural phenomenon of tipping in America, exploring its history, social implications, and economic impact. Scott argues that tipping is a symptom of a larger problem in American society, namely the unequal distribution of wealth and the resulting class divisions. He also discusses the ethics of tipping, questioning whether it is a fair and just practice or a form of bribery. The book draws on a wide range of sources, including literature, journalism, and personal anecdotes, to provide a comprehensive and thought-provoking analysis of tipping in America. Overall, The Itching Palm is a fascinating exploration of a cultural practice that continues to be a topic of debate and controversy to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
