Thorstein Veblen was a leading observer and analyst of capitalism. Featuring original essays by renowned Veblen scholars, this volume revisits his legacy. The contributors note that, with the restoration of laissez faire as the governing principle of contemporary economic ideology and policy-making, his insights are once again relevant.
