Synopsis

In the 'THORSTEIN VEBLEN Ultimate Collection: 8 Books & 50+ Business Essays and Articles in Warfare and Economics,' Veblen presents a rigorous analysis of the interplay between economics, society, and culture. This comprehensive anthology encapsulates his critical theories on capitalism, conspicuous consumption, and the socio-economic implications of warfare, all conveyed through Veblen's incisive and often satirical prose. The collection not only illuminates Veblen's pioneering ideas but also situates them within the intellectual currents of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, revealing how his critiques remain relevant in the contemporary discourse on economics and capitalism. Thorstein Veblen, an American economist and sociologist, is celebrated for his original and biting critiques of the capitalist system. His academic journey, marked by his background in Darwinian evolution and social theory, inspired him to investigate the behavioral aspects underpinning economic phenomena. Veblen's commitment to understanding the socio-cultural environment of economic activity led him to pen these influential works, addressing issues that resonate deeply in today's economic landscape. This collection is an indispensable resource for students and scholars of economics and social theory alike, offering profound insights into the mechanisms of power and wealth in society. Readers seeking to engage with the foundational critiques of capitalism and its societal implications will find Veblen'Äôs works both illuminating and essential.

    Smart machines are replacing more and more jobs. Edward Hess and Katherine Ludwig show how to develop abilities that machines don't have so we can thrive in this Smart Machine Age. Underlying them all is a sense of personal humility: honestly recognizing our limitations and working to mitigate them. 
     
     
    In nearly every industry, smart machines are replacing human labor. It's not just factory jobs-automated technologies are handling people's investments, diagnosing illnesses, and analyzing written documents. If we humans are going to endure, Edward Hess and Katherine Ludwig say we're going to need a dose of humility. 
     
    We need to be humble enough to let go of the idea that "smart" means knowing the most, using that information quickest, and making the fewest mistakes. Smart machines will always be better than we are at those things. Instead, we need to cultivate important abilities that smart machines don't have (yet): thinking critically, creatively, and innovatively and building close relationships with others so we can collaborate effectively. Hess and Ludwig call this being NewSmart. 
     
    To develop these abilities, we need to practice four specific behaviors: keeping our egos out of our way, managing our thoughts and emotions to curb any biases or defensiveness, listening to others with an open mind, and connecting with others socially and emotionally. What all these behaviors have in common is, again, humility-avoiding self-centeredness so we can learn from and work with other humans. Hess and Ludwig offer a guide to developing these NewSmart abilities and to creating organizations where these qualities are encouraged and rewarded.
