Fired by Stanford and the University of Chicago but recommended
by his peers to the presidency of the American Economic
Association, Thorstein Veblen remains a baffling figure in American
intellectual history. In part because he was an eccentric who
shunned publicity, he has also been one of our most neglected.
Veblen is known to the general public only as coiner of the term
"conspicuous consumption," and to scholars primarily as one of many
social critics of the reform-minded Progressive Era. This important
critical biography--originally published as The Bard of
Savagery and now appearing in paperback for the first
time--attempts both to unravel the riddles that surround his
reputation and to assess his varied and important contributions to
modern social theory.
