[Back To List of Economists]
Thorstein Veblen
There seems to be little question that Veblen had an 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.

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.

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 reknown.

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.

The outcome of any serious research can only be to make two questions grow where only one grew before. Invention is the mother of necessity. The superior gratification derived from the use and contemplation of costly and supposedly beautiful products is, commonly, in great measure a gratification of our sense of costliness masquerading under the name of beauty. All business sagacity reduces itself in the last analysis to a judicious use of sabotage.

    Thorstein Veblen (1857-1929)
    The Theory of the Leisure Class
    Study Questions
    How are the "leisure class" and ownership related, according to Veblen? What are the roots of conventional ownership and of marriage? Consider our contemporary phrase "trophy wife." Veblen sees "emulation" as a key feature of social life in "predatory societies." How do the patterns of emulation change as predatory societies change? What fundamental criticism does Veblen make of standard economics? What feature of the possession of wealth does he point that differs from the use of wealth for subsistence or comfort? How does wealth become an "honor (or status) fetish"? ["Wealth is now itself intrinsically honorable and confers honor on its possessor" (323)]. How does this sort of fetishism compare with Marx’s notion of the fetishism of the commodity? Does Veblen’s theory suggest that Marx’s analysis of the commodity was incomplete? Should we think of commodities as having "status value" as well as use-value and exchange-value? (Or is status value a species of use value?) Watch for Baudrillard on this point. What does Veblen mean by "invidious distinction"? How did individual ownership of "booty" tend to break up early communities? Is there any evidence to think that "Property is still of the nature of trophy" (322)?
