John Patrick Diggins
Thorstein Veblen remains a baffling
figure in American intellectual history. This
important critical biography-originally

that surround his reputation and to assess
his varied and important contributions to
modern social theory.
"A most important, incisive, and read–
able study of Thorstein Veblen."
