Download or read book The Vested Interests written by Thorstein Veblen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-24 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Veblen's classic position on social status is intertwined with his interest in economic class and the political prospects of that class. The Vested Interests is squarely in that tradition. It aims to show how and why a discrepancy has arisen between the accepted principles of law and custom that underlie the business enterprise and the efficient management of industry. He also speculates on the civil and political difficulties inspired by this discrepancy between business civilization, and the social order. Many of the essays in this collection originally appeared in Dial from October 1918 to January 1919. The Vested Interests includes: "The Instability of Knowledge and Belief," "The Stability of Law and Custom," "The State of the Industrial Arts," "Free Income," "The Vested Interests," "The Divine Rights of Nations," "Live and Let Live," and "The Vested Interests and the Common Man." In his new introduction, Irving Louis Horowitz discusses Veblen as an economist turned sociologist. He explores the dichotomies in Veblen's approach, describing it as radical in input and conservative in outcome. Veblen was analytical in design, but ideological in rhetoric. He was materialist in his economic analysis, but idealistic in his emphasis on law and custom as regulatory mechanisms of the management of society. Horowitz also describes the difficulties Veblen experienced in placing his steadfastly nineteenth century ideals in the context of 1920s America. This is the final volume in Transaction's series of the essential works of Thorstein Veblen. It will be of central interest to sociologists as well as economists, particularly those interested in the history of ideas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This eBook edition of "THE VESTED INTERESTS & THE NATURE OF PEACE" has been formatted to the highest digital standards and adjusted for readability on all devices. The Vested Interests and The Nature of Peace are two books by Thorstein Veblen that go hand in hand. Veblen's main critique in The Vested Interests and the Common Man that business prospers by limiting supply in order to allow capitalists to dictate the highest possible prices, making theirs and interests of the government clearly in the opposition to the interests of the common man. Veblen goes further stating that not only that common man doesn't profit, but he is also damaged in this relationship considering social repercussions of capitalistic industry. An Inquiry into the Nature of Peace and the Terms of Its Perpetuation is a Veblen's book that came as a product of his work with a group that had been commissioned by President Woodrow Wilson to analyze possible peace settlements for World War I. Veblen here claims that patriotism is based on the idea of superiority of one nation over others and is often abused by governments especially in imperial monarchies. He explicitly says that the peace between democratic states and imperial monarchies can't be kept without disbanding one form of government and these claims were later confirmed. Working on this book marked a series of distinct changes in Veblen's later career path. Thorstein Veblen (1857-1929) was an American economist and sociologist. He is well known as a witty critic of capitalism. Veblen is famous for the idea of "conspicuous consumption." Conspicuous consumption, along with "conspicuous leisure," is performed to demonstrate wealth or mark social status. Veblen explains the concept in his best-known book, The Theory of the Leisure Class. Within the history of economic thought, Veblen is considered the leader of the institutional economics movement.

Download or read book The Vested Interests and the Common Man written by Thorstein Veblen and published by . This book was released on 2010-10-27 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work presents some of Veblen's core ideas in a short, accessible, and typically witty form. His well known view that the business (financial) interests work at cross purposes to manufacturing is concisely developed and presented here. He also takes some care to diagnose the "why" of this condition, offering ideas on how a range of 18th Century legal and cultural norms came to be undermined by new technical and social developments without being superseded or updated by a new culture. In other words, we see manufacturing economies operating inside of obsolete cultural constructs, causing much friction and distress. One of Veblen's more interesting and less discussed ideas is also developed here: the private use made of intangible capital and its conversion into income streams through capitalization in bond issues and other financial instruments. Veblen's insights on the relationship between owners and managers, finance and production, community and property, are pungently stated and lie outside of any convenient pigeonhole. Well worth reading 100 years after publication, and applicable to elements of today's economic situation.
