内容説明

The influential economist and philosopher Thornstein Veblen (1857-1929) was one of the most original and penetrating critics of American culture and institutions, whose work attracted the attention of scholars from a wide range of political viewpoints and 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, as well as exposing their sometimes mistaken interpretations of Veblen's work. As he scrutinizes the ideologies of the conservatives, liberals and radicals who commented on Veblen, he portrays the diversity of social theory in the first half of the 20th century. Beginning with the first criticism of Veblen's work during the presidency of Benjamin Harrison and concluding with Daniel Bell's attack on him during the Kennedy administration, the book emphasizes those critics who systematically confronted the doctrinal structure of Veblen's thought and believed that they perceived in it fundamental weaknesses.
