"The following work attempts an analysis of such correlation as is visible between industrial use and wont and those other institutional facts that go to make up any given phase of civilisation. It is assumed that in the growth of culture, as in its current maintenance, the facts of technological use and wont are fundamental and definitive, in the sense that they underlie and condition the scope and method of civilization in other than the technological respect, but not in such a sense as to preclude or overlook the degree in which these other conventions of any given civilisation in their turn react on the state of the industrial arts. The analysis proceeds on the materialistic assumptions of modern science, but without prejudice to the underlying question as to the ulterior competency of this materialistic conception considered as a metaphysical tenet. The inquiry simply accepts these mechanistic assumptions of material science for the purpose in hand, since these afford the currently acceptable terms of solution for any scientific problem of the kind in the present state of preconceptions on this head…" (Preface) Thorstein Veblen (1857-1929) was an American economist and sociologist. He is well known as a witty critic of capitalism. Veblen is famous for the idea of "conspicuous consumption." Conspicuous consumption, along with "conspicuous leisure," is performed to demonstrate wealth or mark social status. Veblen explains the concept in his best-known book, The Theory of the Leisure Class. Within the history of economic thought, Veblen is considered the leader of the institutional economics movement. Veblen's distinction between "institutions" and "technology" is still called the Veblenian dichotomy by contemporary economists.

In "The Instinct of Workmanship and the State of Industrial Arts," Thorstein Veblen explores the intricate relationship between human instinct and industrial productivity, challenging the prevailing economic theories of his time. With a keen analytical lens, Veblen critiques the capitalist framework and its impact on the art of craftsmanship, arguing for the inherent human desire to create and improve. The book employs a rich, analytical style, blending sociology and economics to underscore the significance of workmanship in the industrial age while advocating for a return to a more creative approach to work, rather than viewing it merely as a means of subsistence or profit. Thorstein Veblen, a prominent American economist and social theorist, emerged in a time marked by rapid industrialization and profound social change. His own experiences within the capitalist society and profound interest in social behavior led him to examine how these institutions affected the human capacity for craftsmanship. Veblen's background in both sociology and economics fundamentally shaped his critiques of economic practices, making him a significant figure in the development of institutional economics. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the sociocultural implications of industrial practices today. Veblen's insights resonate with contemporary discussions about the role of creativity and craftsmanship in a technology-driven economy, making this work both timely and relevant.

One of the great thinkers of the early 20th century, American economist and sociologist THORSTEIN BUNDE VEBLEN (1857-1929) is best remembered for coining the phrase "conspicuous consumption." This 1914 volume is considered by some Veblen's most important work, showcasing the underpinnings of his theories and speculations. Here, Veblen explores... . the battle between instinct and habit . how instinct shaped primitive technologies . how modern industrial arts reflect a collective instinct . the technology of the "predatory culture" . the differences between "peaceable ownership" and the "competitive system" . and more. ALSO FROM COSIMO: Veblen's The Vested Interests and the Common Man, The Theory of Business Enterprise, Imperial Germany and the Industrial Revolution, An Inquiry into the Nature of Peace and the Terms of Its Perpetuation, and The Engineers and the Price System

In the ordinary course, it should seem, such an advance in the industrial arts as will result in an accumulation of wealth, a considerable and efficient industrial equipment, or in a systematic and permanent cultivation of the soil or an extensive breeding of herds or flocks, will also bring on ownership and property rights bearing on these valuable goods, or on the workmen, or on the land employed in their production. What has seemed the most natural and obvious beginnings of property rights, in the view of those economists who have taken an interest in the matter, is the storing up of valuables by such of the ancient workmen as were enabled, by efficiency, diligence or fortuitous gains, to produce somewhat more than their current consumption.

Excerpt from The Instinct of Workmanship: And the State of Industrial Arts As should appear from its slight bulk, the essay is of the nature of a cursory survey rather than an exhaustive inquiry with full documentation. The few references given and the authorities cited in the course of the argu ment are accordingly not to be taken as an inclusivepresentation of the materials on which the inquiry rests. It will also be remarked that where authoritative docu ments are cited the citation is general and extensive rather than specific and detailed. Wherever detailed references are given they will be found to bear on specific facts brought into the argument by way of illustrative detail.
