    <![CDATA[Almost a century after its original publication, Thorstein Veblen's work is as fresh and relevant as ever. Veblen's <strong>The Theory of the Leisure Class</strong> is in the tradition of Adam Smith's <strong>The Wealth of Nations</strong> and Thomas Hobbes's <strong>Leviathan</strong>, yet it provides a surprisingly contemporary look at American economics and society. Establishing such terms as &quot;conspicuous consumption&quot; and &quot;pecuniary emulation,&quot; Veblen's most famous work has become an archetype not only of economic theory, but of historical and sociological thought as well. As sociologist Alan Wolfe writes in his Introduction, Veblen &quot;skillfully . . . wrote a book that will be read so long as the rich are different from the rest of us; which, if the future is anything like the past, they always will be.&quot;]]>

Mitchell <em>Types of Economic Theory</em>, II. &quot;Perhaps his greatest book.&quot; <em>International Encyclopedia of the Social Sciences</em>]]>

    <![CDATA[At the time of its initial publication in 1904, The Higher Learning in America was known in educated circles as the most reflective study ever made of the university system in America.    Veblen's evaluation of the misleading notions and erroneous beliefs were inherent in &quot;the higher learning&quot; was received as fair by most academics.  As a result, many believed he paved the way to an improved age in college education.  Just as applicable today as they were decades ago, his sophisticated style remains deprecatingly amusing; his biting critique just as disquieting as it was at the turn of the 19th century.    The Higher Learning in America remains a penetrating book by one of America's greatest social critics.  American economist and sociologist THORSTEIN BUNDE VEBLEN (1857-1929) was educated at Carleton College, Johns Hopkins University and Yale University. He coined the phrase &quot;conspicuous consumption.&quot; Among his most famous works are The Theory of the Leisure Class (1899), The Theory of Business Enterprise (1904), and Imperial Germany and the Industrial Revolution (1915).]]>

    <![CDATA[Thorstein Veblen was once described by Fortune magazine as &quot;America's most brilliant and influential critic of modern business and the values of a business civilization,&quot; and his wisdom and often dry, satiric wit continues to be obvious today.   In The Theory of Business Enterprise, first published in 1904, he ravages corporate malfeasance and the greed that was spurring the robber barons of his day. If it all sounds familiar a century later, it's a testament to the timelessness of Veblen's criticisms of the corporate world, the wrongdoings of which today he would readily recognize. Modern readers will appreciate this reintroduction to one of the great economic thinkers.  American economist and sociologist THORSTEIN BUNDE VEBLEN (1857-1929) was educated at Carleton College, Johns Hopkins University and Yale University. He coined the phrase &quot;conspicuous consumption.&quot; Among his most famous works are The Theory of the Leisure Class (1899), Imperial Germany and the Industrial Revolution (1915), and The Higher Learning in America: A Memorandum (1918).]]>

    <![CDATA[BCC: In The Vested Interests and the Common Man, long considered a classic text of economics, Veblen discusses various financial transformations within the historical unfolding of capitalism and examines the value of free enterprise in general. It emphasizes the automation and the loss of direct human relations within the industrial arts as well as social repercussions of capitalistic industry.   AUTHOR BIO: Thorstein Veblen (1857-1929) was an American economist and social critic. After studying at Carleton College and at Johns Hopkins, Yale-where he received a Ph.D. in 1884-and Cornell, Veblen taught at the University of Chicago, Stanford University, and the University of Missouri, as well as at the New School for Social Research in New York.   His works include The Theory of the Leisure Class (1899), The Theory of Business Enterprise (1904), The Engineers and the Price System (1921), and Absentee Ownership and Business Enterprise in Recent Times (1923).]]>

    <![CDATA[OF INTEREST TO: students of economics, readers of European history  The traditions of the German people, including the personnel of the civil service, are traditions of frugality and parsimony... and these are fortifed in this connection by a traditional loyalty of service to a master, to whom the civil servant stands in a relation of personal stewardship. -from &quot;Economic Policy of the Imperial State&quot;  One of the great thinkers of the early 20th century, American economist and sociologist THORSTEIN BUNDE VEBLEN (1857-1929) is best remembered for coining the phrase &quot;conspicuous consumption&quot; and, in this 1915 work, explaining how the stage was set for something like the Third Reich in Germany decades before its appearance.   Veblen describes:  . how the pagan past of the Germans gave rise to their modern character . how Germany's appropriation of industrial technology limited its cultural growth . how a medieval perspective endured in Germany into its imperial era . how the dominance of Prussia impacted Germany as a whole . and more.

    <![CDATA[However, these and other like filial expressions of a devout optimism need, perhaps, not be taken as integral features of Adam Smith's economic theory, or as seriously affecting the character of his work as an economist. They are the expression of his general philosophical and theological views, and are significant for the present purpose chiefly as evidences of an animistic and optimistic bent.]]>

    <![CDATA[The concept has sufficient stability and precision to serve their needs; and, if the economist is to deal with the phenomena of modern life in which this concept serves a use of first-rate importance, he must take the term and the concept as he finds them. It is idle fatigue to endeavor to normalise them into a formula which may suit his prepossessions but which is not true to life. The mountain will not come to Mahomet.]]>
