'. . . thought provoking and interesting. Every open minded person would wish to read some of the essays.'
Marc R. Tool, California State University
'Veblen passe? No way! In twelve contemporary essays, institutional economists ably and imaginatively utilize major concepts from Veblen's Theory of the Leisure Class to create substantive, timely and provocative critiques of current social conditions and policies. Areas addressed include, among others, gender discrimination and inequities, invidious display and emulation and differential class and status claims. This is a major contribution to contemporary discourse on economic incentives and well-being. Veblen lives!'
