Search in google:
Attempting to place Veblen in an intellectual tradition will only yield frustration and confusion as he was sui generis and eclectic. Booknews This study focuses primarily on seven scholarly disputes surrounding the meaning of America's most influential heterodox economist's life and work. Approximately one-fourth of this work has been published elsewhere in a more abbreviated form. Coverage includes Veblen's views on topics such as: "social marginality" and "intellectual iconoclasm"; Darwin and biology; psychology and its doctrinal roots; American pragmatismthe case of John Dewey; Kant and the aesthetics of heterodox economics; the industrial republic; and the New Deal.
