Description

Absentee Ownership offers a penetrating analysis of twentieth-century economic structures through the lens of Thorstein Veblen's groundbreaking economic philosophy. This Routledge publication examines how absentee ownership functions as the dominant force shaping modern civilised society, particularly within America's economic landscape. Veblen argues that absentee ownership represents the paramount issue determining relations between civilised nations and influencing their domestic and international affairs. The book connects major historical events, including World War I, to underlying conflicts of absentee interests and their subsequent stabilisation through peace negotiations. Part I provides a comprehensive overview of economic mechanisms at work in the contemporary business enterprise system. Essential reading for economists, business historians, and those seeking to understand the fundamental economic principles governing modern capitalism and industrial organisation.
