The Intellectual Legacy of Thorstein Veblen : Unresolved Issues Hardback
by Rick Tilman
Part of the Contributions in Economics and Economic History series
Hardback
Description
Scholars attempting to place Veblen in a particular intellectual tradition will only succeed in reaping frustration and confusion until it is recognized that he was primarily ^Isui generis^R and eclectic.
This is the recurring theme that is made explicit in the introduction, conclusion, and some of the chapters of this work.
Veblen was a thinker of such depth and power that he was able to create his own intellectual paradigm.
The result of his endeavors is that more than a few intellectuals including his followers, the institutional economists, have spent their careers trying to understand the paradigm and to develop it in several directions for their own purposes.
