This article focuses on the book "Thorstein Veblen and His America," by Joseph Dorfman. The book talks about writer and professor Thorstein Veblen. During his lifetime Veblen was little known outside a small circle of friends and disciples. Until his fiftieth year he taught at University of Chicago on a salary which never exceeded a thousand dollars. Subsequently he spent three years at Stanford, from which he was forced to resign as the result of a matrimonial scandal. Veblen approached modern society with the detachment of an anthropologist studying a tribe of cannibals. His roots were in the agrarian radicalism of Minnesota. |
