£75 · Offered by Maggs Bros Ltd

‘The influential economist and philosopher Thorstein Veblen (1857-1929) was one of the most original and penetrating critics of American culture and institutions. His work still attracts the attention of scholars from a wide range of political viewpoints and scholarly disciplines. Focusing on the doctrinal and theoretical facets of Veblen’s political economy, this book offers a study not only of his ideas but also of the way his critics have responded to them. Rick Tilman assesses the weight of the critics’ reactions, both positive and negative, and exposes their sometimes mistaken interpretations of Veblen’s work’ (dust jacket blurb).
