About this audiobook
This expansive collection gathers Thorstein Veblen's major writings on capitalism, institutions, education, and social power, including The Theory of Business Enterprise, The Higher Learning in America, The Vested Interests and the Common Man, and essays on capital, workmanship, and industrial organization. Written in Veblen's famously ironic, analytic prose, these works expose the conflict between productive industry and pecuniary business, placing him at the center of institutional economics and Progressive Era social criticism. Veblen, a Norwegian-American economist and sociologist, brought to his work the perspective of an intellectual outsider: rigorously trained, skeptical of inherited privilege, and attentive to the habits and institutions that shape economic life. His academic marginality, wide learning, and distrust of conventional respectability helped produce a body of writing that is at once economic theory, cultural diagnosis, and satire of modern capitalism. This volume is recommended for readers seeking a comprehensive entry into one of the most original critics of American economic modernity. Scholars, students, and general readers interested in capitalism, higher education, class behavior, and institutional power will find here a demanding but rewarding archive of arguments whose relevance has scarcely diminished.
