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.

16. Veblen Veblen, Torstein Bunde (18571929). Thorstein Veblen is to economics what JonathanSwift 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.

Search Site Search Card Catalog Search a Book Home ... and Help Biography of Thorstein Veblen (1857-1929) Thorstein Veblen was odd man out in late-nineteenth and early-twentieth-century American economics. His position on the fringe started early. Veblen grew up in a Norwegian immigrant farming community in Wisconsin. He spoke only Norwegian at home and did not learn English until his teens. He studied economics under John Bates Clark, a leading neoclassical economist, but rejected his ideas. Later he did his graduate work at Johns Hopkins University under Charles Sanders Peirce, the founder of the pragmatist school in philosophy, and at Yale University under laissez-faire proponent William Graham Sumner. He repudiated their views as well. Veblen is best known for his book The Theory of the Leisure Class. In it he introduced the term "conspicuous consumption." Conspicuous consumption was consumption undertaken to make a statement to others about one's class or accomplishments. This term, more than any other, is what Veblen is known for. Veblen did not reject economists' answers to the questions they posed. Rather, he thought their questions were too narrow. Veblen wanted economists to try to understand the social and cultural causes and effects of economic changes. What social and cultural causes were responsible for the shift from hunting and fishing to farming, for example, and what were the social and cultural effects of this shift? Veblen was singularly unsuccessful at getting economists to focus on such questions. His failure may explain the sarcastic tone toward his fellow economists in his writing.

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.
