Description

Explore the theoretical foundations of Thorstein Veblen's thought with this classic volume from Routledge. Originally issued in 1914, this work is described by Murray Murphey as Veblen's most important work. It provides a deep look into the core ideas that shaped his later, more famous writings. This book examines the fundamental dichotomy between technological institutions used for making goods and the pecuniary institutions used for making money. Readers can study the tension between the instinctive values of community welfare and the pecuniary values of commercial exchange. It serves as a primary text for understanding the relationship between industrial arts and economic systems. This volume is an essential resource for those studying the history of economic thought and the development of industrial theory.
