This is a critical biography, originally published as "The Bard of Savagery". It attempts to unravel the riddles that surround the reputation of Thorstein Veblen, and to assess his varied and important contributions to modern social theory.
Fired by Stanford and the University of Chicago but recommended by his peers to the presidency of the American Economic Association, Thorstein Veblen remains a baffling figure. In part because he was an eccentric who shunned publicity. Veblen is best known to the public as coiner of the term "conspicuous consumption", and known to scholars as one of many social critics of the reform-minded Progressive Era.
