Description

Murray G. Murphey's comprehensive biography examines the life and intellectual contributions of Thorstein Veblen (1857-1929), the influential economist and social theorist whose work continues to shape contemporary thought. Beginning with nineteenth-century American economic history, Murphey traces the formative conditions that influenced Veblen's ideology and worldview. The book explores Veblen's personal history alongside his foundational theories on human psychology, race relations, epistemology, and social analysis. This scholarly work by Routledge provides readers with an exhaustive study of one of history's most significant yet complex social theorists, offering valuable insights into both his life and the theoretical frameworks that established him as a leading figure in social science.
