Thorstein Veblen
Thorstein Bunde Veblen is an American economist and sociologist who throughout his life established himself as a famous critic of capitalism. In his most famous book, The Theory of the Leisure Class, Veblen introduced the concept of conspicuous and ostentatious consumption. Economic historians consider Veblen to be the father of the school of institutional economics. Contemporary economists still hypothesize that a distinction between Veblen's “institutions” and “technologies” is called the Veblen dichotomy. As a leading intellectual in America's Progress Age, Veblen attacks production for profit. Its emphasis on conspicuous consumption greatly influenced economists, who took part in non-Marxist critiques of fascism, capitalism, and technological determinism.
