Originalbroschur. Condition: Gut. 221 S. Einband leicht berieben. Papierbedingt leicht gebräunt. - THE interpretation of Veblen offered by this book emphasizes above all the ambiguity, even the internal contradictions, of his thought. Inconsistency, as Emerson said, need not be altogether a defect: it may reflect a complex and honest mind working on inherently difficult problems. Yet the authors of this Preface remain more critical of Veblen than do a good many of those who have written centennial interpretations of his work and influence; this is in some measure because we attempt to view his writings as a whole, where contradictions are most in evidence, rather than taking them book by book or theme by theme. Moreover, we attempt to link the man and the work, not to diminish or explain away the latter, but to try to make sense of its incompatibilities. Thus, for example, it remains a problem for us why Veblen invoked over and over again the virtues of small-scale neighborly life among peasants and savages, while at the same time praising the industrial technology which worked in his view towards ever-increasing centralization. So, too, we must ask what he intended in attacking the psychology of classical economics for assuming men to be passive, while at the same time he mocked at reformers as tinkering busy-bodies. And, since war and preparations for war preoccupy us as these pages are being written, we also want to ask what kind of radical was the Veblen who, though strongly against war, supported American entry into the First World War, when LaFollette, Debs, and Randolph Bourne, along with many other brave and far-sighted men, opposed it?
