The Complete Works of Thorstein Veblen

Thorstein Veblen

Beschreibung

"The Complete Works of Thorstein Veblen" compiles the exhaustive writings of one of the foremost social theorists of the early 20th century, known for his incisive critique of capitalism and consumer culture. Veblen employs a distinctive blend of humor and sociological insight, characterized by his sharp wit and profound observations on the interplay between economics and social behavior. Within these works, he examines concepts such as conspicuous consumption, the leisure class, and the socio-economic dynamics that shape modern society, all while situating his arguments in the broader context of American industrialism and its implications for social stratification. Thorstein Veblen, born in 1857 to Norwegian immigrant parents, was deeply influenced by the socio-economic conditions of his time. Educated at prominent institutions such as Carleton College and Johns Hopkins University, Veblen's interdisciplinary approach drew from philosophy, economics, and sociology. His experiences as a member of both the upper class and the working class enabled him to critique the very fabric of American life while advocating for a more equitable society. Readers interested in the intersections of economics, sociology, and cultural critique will find this anthology indispensable. Veblen's works offer timeless insights into the mechanisms of social behavior and economic practices that resonate even today. "The Complete Works of Thorstein Veblen" is not merely a historical artifact; it remains a vital resource for understanding contemporary issues within the framework of modern consumerism and class dynamics.

Common Sense Economics - What...

James D. Gwartney, Tawni Hunt...

The fully revised and updated fourth edition of the classic Common Sense Economics. 
 
 
 
As the global economy recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic and debates over the future of work challenge our long-held preconceptions about what careers and the market can be, learning the basics of economics has never been more essential. Principles such as gains from trade, the role of profit and loss, and the secondary effects of government spending, taxes, and borrowing risk continue to be critically important to the way America's economy functions, and critically important to understand for those hoping to further their professional lives—even their personal lives. Common Sense Economics discusses these key points and theories and more, using them to show how any listener can make wiser personal choices and form more informed positions on policy. 
 
 
 
Now in its fourth edition, this classic from James D. Gwartney, Dwight R. Lee, Tawni Hunt Ferrarini, Joseph P. Calhoun, and Jane Shaw Stroup has been fully updated to include commentary on the effects of the pandemic on the global economy and the workplace; it offers insight into political processes and the many ways in which economics informs policy, illuminating our world and what might be done to make it better.

Practice of Dharmic leadeship :...

Devdutt Pattanaik

Having understood the exchange and what is exchanged, let us understand who participates in the exchange. This is the unique feature of Dharmic Leadership and separates the yagna from other forms of exchange such as barter and contract.In barter, only goods and services are exchanged. Personal beliefs do not matter. In contract, beliefs are either false or true. True beliefs make us respect the law, ethics, and morality. In yagna, inclusion of other people's beliefs allows our beliefs to expand and uncrumple the mind infinitely. As the mind expands, we become generous because we are content and content because we are ambitious. This makes yagna an exercise in transformation unlike contract, which is at best, an exercise in conversion. As belief shifts, so does behavior, and so does business.In Indian mythology, the female form is given to the constituents of the cultural body, that which can be exchanged. The male form is given to the psychological body, that which can transform. Brahma is who we are by default. We consume resources, power and knowledge and, so we chase the goddesses relentlessly. Discontentment makes us Shiva who grows indifferent to the goddess, until he realizes her value. Finally, as Vishnu, we discovers that we are also goddesses, that which can be consumed by others. Here gender is used as a metaphor to convey the complex relationship of mind and matter. We wonder what comes first: hunger or food? This gives rise to the question, who came first: god or goddess? Rig Veda says, 'They gave birth to each other, Daksha to Aditi and Aditi to Daksha.'In this chapter, we will study ambition through stories of Brahma and his sons, contentment through stories of Shiva and generosity through stories of Vishnu.
