The Value of Money 2011-01-04T03:01:12.363Z As the child of Norwegian immigrants, Veblen himself had grown up on a Minnesota farm in the midst of a close-knit Norwegian-speaking community. The man who saw Trump coming a century ago 2019-04-19T04:00:00Z Veblen has made it perfectly clear that particular matters of theory are affected by the presupposition of hedonism. Creative Intelligence Essays in the Pragmatic Attitude One tech blog could have been channeling Veblen when it declared: “Overkill, thy name is Vertu.” Prototype: At Vertu, Designing Six-Figure Cellphones 2010-04-17T22:27:00Z Among the works referred to, I may mention two of great originality: a book filled with bold paradox by Thorstein Veblen, entitled Peace? The Forerunners Extensive use has been made of it by Veblen. The Value of Money 2011-01-04T03:01:12.363Z Veblen noted that such arrangements elicited aggressive, dominant behavior that, over time, caused societies to change for the worse. The man who saw Trump coming a century ago 2019-04-19T04:00:00Z Evidently a strong predilection for Thorstein Veblen's theories. Status Quo Veblen describes the process admirably in his "Theory of the Leisure Class." The Next Step A Plan for Economic World Federation Veblen approaches nearer to a sociological explanation in his analysis of the self-conscious attitudes of invidious comparison and conspicuous waste in the leisure class. Introduction to the Science of Sociology Most of my criticisms of Veblen apply also to Schumpeter. The Value of Money 2011-01-04T03:01:12.363Z In Veblen’s work, however, the only men — and they were all men then — acting that way were those robber barons, admired for their “prowess” by the very working-class guys they preyed upon. The man who saw Trump coming a century ago 2019-04-19T04:00:00Z As Veblen puts it: "The emergence of the leisure class coincides with the beginning of ownership." The American Empire We now begin to realize what a very difficult matter it is to rid the mind completely of the effects of what Professor Veblen calls "the institutional furniture handed down from the past." Socialism: Positive and Negative Veblen has made an acute observation upon this point. Introduction to the Science of Sociology They are of the same sort that Veblen has developed in his Theory of the Leisure Class. The Value of Money 2011-01-04T03:01:12.363Z But so, too, Veblen said, do the minds of the “abjectly poor, and all those persons whose energies are entirely absorbed by the struggle for daily sustenance.” The man who saw Trump coming a century ago 2019-04-19T04:00:00Z Veblen maintains also that emulation is always involved in the patriotic spirit, that patriotism always contains the idea of the defeat of an opponent, and is based upon collective malevolence. The Psychology of Nations A Contribution to the Philosophy of History They are often the vicarious expressions of man's remaining aristocratic feeling, as Veblen has acutely outlined in his Theory of the Leisure Class. The Family and it's Members Thorstein Veblen's brilliant descriptions penetrate deeply into our mental life, and Jane Addams has given new hope to many of us by her capacity for making ideals the goal of natural desire. A Preface to Politics Veblen has made much of the contention that modern "capital" is not, as Smith thought, and as orthodox economists in general have contended, a matter of physical accumulations of goods. The Value of Money 2011-01-04T03:01:12.363Z In a pinch, the predator was, as Veblen saw it, always ready to go further, to throw a wrench into the works, to move into the role of outright “Saboteur.” The man who saw Trump coming a century ago 2019-04-19T04:00:00Z Veblen would hold that wars never occur unless the questions involved are first converted into questions of national honor—and are then, but only then, supported as moral issues. The Psychology of Nations A Contribution to the Philosophy of History The conspicuous waste and leisure that Thorstein Veblen points out as the chief criterion of reputability at present have a dubious relation to high mental or moral endowment, far less than has wealth. Applied Eugenics The first stop he made was at Columbia, Missouri, to see his idol Veblen. An American Idyll The Life of Carleton H. Parker And in large measure Veblen's work is given to showing how factors of legal and social psychological nature get a money-measure. The Value of Money 2011-01-04T03:01:12.363Z Still, from the beginning, Thorstein Veblen was there, prepared to focus his mind on Rockefeller and his cronies, the cream of the upper class and the most ruthless profiteers behind that Gilded Age. The man who saw Trump coming a century ago 2019-04-19T04:00:00Z Veblen says it is a matter of habit to what particular nationality a man will become attached on arriving at years of discretion. The Psychology of Nations A Contribution to the Philosophy of History Germany's industrial supremacy was due, as Professor Veblen shows, to the fact that machine industry was imposed ready-made on a people whose psychology was feudal. Creative Impulse in Industry A Proposition for Educators Noteworthy exceptions are the remarkable series of books by Veblen, the articles and criticisms of Mitchell and Patten, and the most significant small book by Taussig, entitled 'Inventors and Money-makers.' An American Idyll The Life of Carleton H. Parker Veblen seems to find the trouble arising in that the capital magnitude takes on a substantial character, and refuses to play the passive rôle of shadow. The Value of Money 2011-01-04T03:01:12.363Z Veblen observed a world in which that leisure class, looking down its collective nose at the laboring masses, was all around him, but he saw evidence of something else as well. The man who saw Trump coming a century ago 2019-04-19T04:00:00Z If patriotism fits into modern life like sand in the machinery, as Veblen says, we must see how patriotism may be made to do better service. The Psychology of Nations A Contribution to the Philosophy of History As machine production superseded craftsmanship the basis of fixing the price of an article shifted from values fixed by the standards of workers to standards of machines, Professor Veblen says to standards of salesmen. Creative Impulse in Industry A Proposition for Educators Just got in after thirteen hours with Veblen. An American Idyll The Life of Carleton H. Parker In general, Veblen's work in this field consists in assimilating the "intangible" capital to the class of land, and other long time concrete income-bearers, but that is after all classification, systematization, "taxonomy." The Value of Money 2011-01-04T03:01:12.363Z Indeed, those aggressive upper-class men soon discovered the special pleasure that lay in taking whatever they wanted by “seizure,” as Veblen termed it. The man who saw Trump coming a century ago 2019-04-19T04:00:00Z Mediaeval castles, Venetian palaces, colonial mansions, all represented a form of social importance, what Veblen has called conspicuous waste. The Cost of Shelter This is what Veblen so well calls "idle curiosity". The Mind in the Making The Relation of Intelligence to Social Reform Almost always the most visible and obvious standard of measurement will determine the rules of the game: such as money, power, popularity, applause, or Mr. Veblen's "conspicuous waste." Public Opinion In saying all this, I am as far as possible from questioning the value of Veblen's work. The Value of Money 2011-01-04T03:01:12.363Z So came Veblen's grim and ironic exposition of the leisure-class woman, an exposition which Corydon found almost too painful to be read. Love's Pilgrimage If only Lady Dee could have revised this book of Veblen's, how many points she could have given to him! Sylvia's Marriage Veblen, however, uses the term "idle curiosity" somewhat ironically, as is his wont. The Mind in the Making The Relation of Intelligence to Social Reform Corydon would repudiate all this with indignation; but all the same she never escaped from the phrases of Veblen—she remained his "leisure-class wife" from that day forth. Love's Pilgrimage It is, as I have said, chiefly the capitalization theory which Veblen applies to these newly important intangible "capital-items." The Value of Money 2011-01-04T03:01:12.363Z Veblen's book might have been called a study of the ultimate destiny of "surplus value"; an economic interpretation of the social arts and graces, of "fashions" and "fads". Love's Pilgrimage But now the combination of Veblen and myself had helped her to realize what it meant. Sylvia's Marriage |
