What Veblen Taught - Selected Writings of Thorstein Veblen

Exploring the intersection of Darwinian evolution and economic theory, this collection showcases the work of influential sociologist Thorstein Bunde Veblen. His seminal ideas, particularly in "The Theory of the Leisure Class," highlight the social divide between those who advance through exploitation versus those who do so through industry. Veblen's contributions are foundational to modern socio-economic thought. This republished edition includes a new introductory biography, offering insight into the life of a key figure in institutional economics.
