Veblen, Thorstein VEBLEN, Thorstein (1857-1929). The American economist and social critic Thorstein Veblen, in his popular book 'The Theory of the Leisure Class', used Charles Darwin's theory of evolution to analyze the modern industrial system. He claimed that industry demands diligence, efficiency, and cooperation among businessmen. What he saw instead were companies run by selfish predators interested in making money and displaying their wealth in what he termed "conspicuous consumption." Veblen's other books include 'The Theory of Business Enterprise' (1904), 'The Instinct of Workmanship and the State of the Industrial Arts' (1914), and 'Imperial Germany and the Industrial Revolution' (1915). 50s HOME READING LIST NEWS FILREIS HOME Document URL: http://www.writing.upenn.edu/~afilreis/50s/veblen-bio.html Last modified: Thursday, 31-May-2007 09:41:35 EDT

Britannica CD Index Articles Dictionary Help Veblen, Thorstein (Bunde) (b. July 30, 1857, Manitowoc County, Wis., U.S.d. Aug. 3, 1929, near Menlo Park, Calif.), U .S. economist and social scientist who sought to apply an evolutionary, dynamic approach to the study of economic institutions. With The Theory of the Leisure Class (1899) he won fame in literary circles, and, in describing the life of the wealthy, he coined phrases "conspicuous consumption," and "pecuniary emulation"that are still widely used. Veblen was of Norwegian stock. He did not learn English until he went to school, and all his life he spoke it with an accent. He was graduated from Carleton College in Minnesota in three years, proving himself a brilliant scholar and a mocking individualist given to railing at established ideas. He went on to Johns Hopkins and Yale to study philosophy, receiving his Ph.D. from Yale in 1884. Unable to find a teaching position, he returned to his father's farm in Minnesota, where he spent most of the next seven years reading. "For days," writes his biographer, "all that one could see of him was the top of his head at the garret window." In 1888 he married Ellen Rolfe, a member of a wealthy and influential family. Still unable to find a job, he entered Cornell in 1891 as a graduate student. There he impressed J. Laurence Laughlin so highly that, when Laughlin was asked to head the economics department at the new University of Chicago in 1892, he took Veblen with him as a fellow in economics. Not until 1896, when Veblen was 39, did he attain the rank of instructor.

SUMMARY In his best-known work, The Theory of the Leisure Class (1899), Veblen appropriated Darwin's theory of evolution to analyze the modern industrial system. While industry itself demanded diligence, efficiency, and cooperation, businesspeople - in opposition to engineers and industrialists - were interested only in making money and displaying their wealth in what Veblen coined "conspicuous consumption." Veblen's keen analysis of the psychological bases of American social and economic institutions laid the foundation for the school of institutional economics.

Conspicuous consumption From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Conspicuous consumption is a term used to describe the lavish spending on goods and services acquired mainly for the purpose of displaying income or wealth.

52. Veblen Thorstein Veblen is to economics what Jonathan Swift is to English literature a master of the art of satire. Is is essential to effective satire that its message be ambiguous http://qed.econ.queensu.ca/walras/bios/veblen.html

Veblen, Torstein Bunde (1857-1929) No matter which of these books we open, we find the idea that life in a modern industrial community is the result of a polar conflict between 'pecuniary employments' and 'industrial employments', between 'business enterprise' and 'the machine process', between 'vendibility' and 'serviceability'-in short, between making money and making goods. There is a class struggle under capitalism, not between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat, but between businessmen and engineers. Pecuniary habits of thought unite bankers, brokers, lawyers and managers in a defence of private acquisition; in contrast, the discipline of the machine unites workers in industry and more especially the technicians and engineers who supervise them. It is in these terms that Veblen describes modern industrial civilisation. As we read him, we have the feeling that something is being explained. And yet in the end the ambiguity of the message remains. He appears to offer a fundamental critique of the market mechanism and a call for something like a technocratic revolution, but Veblen warns us specifically against the belief that the engineers are capable of taking over and running the system, which leaves us wondering just what he is saying. But perhaps the desire to pin him down precisely misses the point: it is, after all, satire and is designed to open your eyes, not to close your mind.
