S pring/Summer 1994, Volume 11.2 C ritical Essay FRED ERISMAN The Technological Utopias of Thorstein Veblen and Nevil Shute Technology, like politics, makes for strange bedfellows. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the congruence of the ideas of the NorwegianAmerican economist, Thorstein Veblen (1857-1929), and the British popular novelist, Nevil Shute (1899-1960). Their lives overlap by a scant third of a century, and seem, on the surface, antagonistic; Veblen devotes his academic career to outspoken criticisms of business and commerce, while Shute, by training an aeronautical engineer, has considerable success as an entrepreneurial businessman in the aircraft industry before turning to fulltime authorship.' Nevertheless, the social ideas of the one resonate in the fiction of the other, for both are working within the long-standing tradition of the technological utopia, and their regard for the potential inherent in the proper exercise of technology provides the basis for a provocative debate over how a humane society might function effectively within a technological world.' At the heart of Veblen's socio-economic thought are three broad concepts: the instinct of idle curiosity, the instinct of workmanship, and the parental bent. Emerging in The Theory of the Leisure Class (1899) and The Theory of Business Enterprise (1904), developed explicitly in The Instinct of Workmanship (1914) and The Higher Learning in America (1918), and broadly expanded in The Engineers and the Price System (1921), these concepts at last form the foundation of Veblen's technocratic utopia, a society in which their application by enlightened engineers and others of the technologically adept will overcome the corruption that permeates the world of capital and commerce. Freed of its corruption, society will then proceed to a more harmonious, albeit relentlessly secular, relationship with technology and the world.

Veblen, Thorstein Gain The basis on which good repute in any highly organized industrial community ultimately rests is pecuniary strength; and the means of showing pecuniary strength, and so of gaining or retaining a good name, are leisure and a conspicuous consumption of goods Veblen, Thorstein Leisure

[Return to Catalogue] New Fall 2003Winter 2004 THORSTEIN VEBLEN AND THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE Louis Patsouras Economist, iconoclast, social critic, and moral judge of the American way of life: 'the best critic of America that America has produced.' Thorstein Veblen (1857-1929) was an unrelenting critic of the American way of life. In his first and best-known work, The Theory of the Leisure Class, Veblen defined the social attitudes and values that condoned the misuse of wealth and the variety of ways in which the resources of modern society were wasted. Though most famous for the term "conspicuous consumption"a pattern of consumerism that more than survives to the present dayhe also attacked other American institutions and traditions, but his ideas on society were often dismissed because of his reputation as an eccentric. Unsuccessful in his university career and his two marriages, and in his private life described as strange, bitter, and detached, in his books, Veblen shone. Thorstein Veblen remains a baffling figure in American intellectual history, and this important work, undertaken by Louis Patsouras, attempts both to unravel the riddles that surround his reputation and to assess his varied and important contributions to modern social theory.

Professor of Political Economy at the University of Chicago from 1892-1906, and editor of 'The Journal of Political Economy' from 1896-1905. He also taught at Stanford (1906-09), University of Missouri (1911-18), and the New School for Social Research in NYC (1919). In 1918-19 Veblen also edited 'The Dial' , a radical literary and political magazine in New York. Best known for his first major work 'The Theory of the Leisure Class' Veblen took aim at his colleagues in the world of economics, urging them to focus on the social and cultural causes and effects of economic change and human behaviour. Economics, he argued, should not be studied as a closed system. One can fully appreciate Veblen's keen criticisms of established social and economic institutions, and a taste of his biting satire, by reading directly from one of his major works

Main January 09, 2004 Thorstein Veblen on human nature On the train into Concord today read " Why is Economics Not an Evolutionary Science? " by Thorstein Veblen. I've never read substantial portions of Veblen before, but my future father-in-law is a specialist in him, and about the time I learned that, I also learned—serendipitously—that Veblen (1857-1929) was an admirer and friend of J.A. Hobson— and vice versa . Their friendship turns out to have been quite important because Veblen was able to organize a school of economic thought that incorporated many of Hobson's ideas about economics. ( Review of Imperialism by Veblen , PDF) Your humble correspondent has found this sort of thing handy to know because it allows me to draw ready inferences about the harmony of certain ideas. In the case of Veblen and Hobson, you have theories of domestic economics melded rigorously with theories of imperialism. Veblen was interested in the role of social conventions and institutions in determining economic outcomes, and his insights were heretical to the neoclassical economic thought that prevailed during his lifetime. In this passage from "Why Economics is not an Evolutionary Science," he explains the core premise of the "Austrian School," whose most famous recent defender was Friedrich von Hayek The economists of the classical trend have made no serious attempt to depart from the standpoint of taxonomy and make their science a genetic account of the economic life process. ...The Austrians ...have taken up a detached portion of economic theory [
