Description

The Vested Interests presents Thorstein Veblen's seminal analysis of social status, economic class, and industrial society. This classic work examines the fundamental disconnect between the principles underlying business enterprise and the practical demands of efficient industry management. Veblen explores how this discrepancy between business civilization and the social order creates civil and political tensions that shape modern economies. Originally published as essays in Dial magazine from October 1918 onwards, this collection synthesises Veblen's distinctive critique of capitalism, class dynamics, and institutional economics. Essential reading for students and scholars of economic theory and philosophy, The Vested Interests remains influential in understanding how economic systems generate social inequality and structural conflict.

Key Features

The Vested Interests by Veblen combines analysis of social status with examination of economic class and political implications of industrial society.

This Routledge publication addresses the gap between accepted business principles and the practical requirements of efficient industrial management.

The collection traces Veblen's investigation into civil and political difficulties created by contradictions between business civilisation and social order.

Essays originally appeared in Dial magazine starting October 1918, offering historical perspective on early twentieth-century economic thought and critique.
