Sinopse

In "The Complete Works of Thorstein Veblen," readers are presented with a comprehensive compilation of the seminal thought of an economist and social critic whose ideas laid the groundwork for institutional economics. Veblen's literary style is characterized by sharp wit and a critical tone, employing satire and keen observation to dissect the social dynamics and economic behaviors of his time. His major works delve into concepts such as conspicuous consumption, the leisure class, and the critique of capitalism, reflecting the socio-economic conditions of early 20th-century America. The collection offers invaluable insights into the interplay of culture and economics, challenging the reader to reconsider the traditional narratives of wealth and power. Thorstein Veblen was born into a Norwegian immigrant family in 1857, and his formative years amid the struggles of the working class profoundly influenced his perspectives. Educated at prestigious institutions, including Johns Hopkins University, Veblen's experiences in academia and his engagements with contemporary social movements informed his critiques of capitalism. His background and keen intellectual curiosity drove him to question the status quo, making him a pivotal figure in the development of economic sociology. This collection is highly recommended for students, scholars, and anyone interested in the evolution of economic thought. Veblen's incisive analyses remain strikingly relevant, offering a critical lens through which to examine modern consumer culture and its implications. Engaging with his complete works not only enriches one's understanding of economics but also fosters a deeper awareness of social dynamics that continue to shape our world today.

    Private Government - How...

    Why our workplaces are authoritarian private governments—and why we can't see it 
     
     
     
    One in four American workers says their workplace is a "dictatorship." Yet that number almost certainly would be higher if we recognized employers for what they are—private governments with sweeping authoritarian power over our lives. Many employers minutely regulate workers' speech, clothing, and manners on the job, and employers often extend their authority to the off-duty lives of workers, who can be fired for their political speech, recreational activities, diet, and almost anything else employers care to govern. In this compelling book, Elizabeth Anderson examines why, despite all this, we continue to talk as if free markets make workers free, and she proposes a better way to think about the workplace, opening up space for discovering how workers can enjoy real freedom.
