[Back To List of Economists] Thorstein Veblen There seems to be little question that Veblen had a grasping and intelligent mind; as a young man he read ferociously. But, Veblen proceeded in life as an isolated figure; his mind unpenetrable by others; and his personality matched his physical appearance, strange. "He walked through life as if he had descended from another world, and the goings on which ... appeared to him as piquant, exotic, and curious as the rituals of a savage community ... [he was] a mass of eccentricities." In time Velben found himself teaching at the University of Chicago, a university that was well funded (Rockefeller) and had determined to corner the entire intellectual market, even if it meant that the university was to end up with such a strange individual in its stable, as undoubtedly Thorstein Velben was. Veblen's teaching methods were such that they drove students away: "He mumbled, he rambled, he digressed." Though Veblen makes for an interesting biographical sketch, what in economics he will be remembered for is his work, The Theory Of The Leisure Class It came off the presses in 1899. It was first written in such a polysyllabic manner that the publisher had to get Veblen to re-write it several times. In it, Veblen set forth his corrosive view of society.

Profile Major Works Other Works Works About Veblen ... Links T horstein Bunde Veblen was born 30 July 1857 in Wisconsin. The family later moved to a farmstead in Minnesota, adjacent to what is now the Nerstrand 'Big Woods' State Park. Of Norwegian heritage, he spoke all his life with that accent. He attended Carleton College and Johns Hopkins, receiving his PhD at Yale in 1884. But he was unable to find work as a teacher, and lived for a while on his father's farm, reading voraciously. In 1888, he married Ellen Rolfe, niece of the president of Carleton College, against the wishes of her family. He returned to school in 1891, to Cornell, and by 1892 was an assistant professor at newly-founded Chicago University. He was founder & editor of the "Journal of Political Economy" from 1892-1905, writing many essays that attracted major respect. But during that time he was involved in scandal and was forced to resign from the university. H is central work, "The Theory of The Leisure Class" (1899) brought him fame; its theories are still relevant and taught in many universities around the world. This scathing indictment of capitalism describes the class struggle as being not between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat (per Marx/Engels), but between businessmen – bankers, lawyers, brokers, managers – and industry: engineers, designers, technicians, and labor; in short, between making money and producing goods. His "Theory of Business Enterprise" (1904) further widened his renown.

Stanley K. Schultz, Professor of History William P. Tishler, Producer Shane Hamilton, Web Editor Veblen, Thorstein Social critic, economist (1857-1929) The son of Norwegian immigrants, Veblen was born in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin, and grew up in rural Minnesota. He received his B.A from Carleton College (1880) and Ph.D. in philosophy from Yale (1884). Unable to attain a teaching position, he spent seven unhappy years at home in Minnesota before resuming his academic career. From 1892 to 1906, he taught political economy at the University of Chicago, gaining a reputation as a brilliant, eccentric thinker and innovative teacher. His first and most famous book, The Theory of the Leisure Class (1899), also established him as an important social critic. In this and subsequent works, Veblen fiercely assailed the influence of laissez-faire economics and big business in shaping modern society and culture. Thorstein Veblen (1857-1929), social scientist and Veblen's gruff manner and unconventional personal life also garnered notoriety. The Chicago administration forced him out in 1906 following an extramarital affair. He taught at Stanford for three years, only to be expelled again for personal reasons. In 1919, he became a founding member of the New School for Social Research in New York. SOURCE: Encyclopedia of American Biography; Webster's American Biographies.

7. Veblen Veblen, Torstein Bunde (18571929). Thorstein Veblen is to economics what Jonathan Swift is to English literature a master of the art of satire. 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.

Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History VEBLEN, THORSTEIN , economist and social critic. Veblen's criticisms of the accepted corpus of economic theory and his analyses of economic and social change helped form the basis of the institutionalist school of economic thought and earned for him a reputation as a skilled satirist and critic of capitalist society. Veblen was born into the culturally isolated Norwegian immigrant community of the Upper Midwest. English was still his second language when he entered college. He remained somewhat of an outsider to mainstream American society throughout his life, and the descriptions of aspects of that society found in his books sometimes have the flavor of an anthropologist's account of an alien culture. Veblen is best known for his first book, The Theory of the Leisure Class (1899), which he presented as a scientific analysis of upper-class mores and behaviors. It portrayed the life of the well-bred individual as an unremitting quest for status in a pecuniary culture—that is, a culture in which status was based upon wealth. It was in this context that Veblen coined the phrase "conspicuous consumption" to describe spending undertaken mainly to demonstrate for others the spender's ability to pay. The book reached an audience far beyond the economics profession. (Most readers believed it to be as much satire as scholarship.) A general theme in Veblen's many books and articles was that the system of private property was no longer compatible with the technological basis of modern industry. Veblen also elaborated on what he believed to be an unstable dichotomy in modern society, differentiating between industrial occupations, which were involved with the production of goods via machine-based processes, and business occupations, which were involved with the purchase and sale of goods in the pursuit of profit. Associated with these types of occupations were two antagonistic worldviews. Veblen insisted that a social upheaval was imminent, as those in industrial occupations were coming to question the social value of business activity and the system of private property upon which it was based.
