Thornstein Veblen as an Economic Theorist

Abstract

Thornstein Veblen is known as an iconoclast and critic of theory. It is not generally recognized to what extent he in fact evolved theories of his own, theories which were a development of neoclassical economics and precursor of later developments. This paper sketches his theories of the firm, of cyclical fluctuations, and of economic development.
