I recently attended an outstanding symposium on Thorstein Veblen in Istanbul, hosted by the Chamber of Engineers, an amazingly radicalized group.
Here is the introduction to paper I presented there: Comments and Questions always appreciated: Given his insight and his style, Thorstein Veblen has become more relevant than ever, given current conditions. Neoliberalism in both economics and politics is enjoying a stranglehold on society. Its arrogant supporters blithely dismiss any information that might contradict their rigid dogma and treat all who would challenge them with contempt. To make matters worse, the neoliberals also dominate the media and academia, making respectful or even intelligent debate virtually impossible. http://michaelperelman.wordpress.com/2012/07/10/thorstein-veblen-an-american-economic-perspective/ http://michaelperelman.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/veblen.pdf -- Michael Perelman Economics Department California State University Chico, CA 95929 530 898 5321 fax 530 898 5901 http://michaelperelman.wordpress.com _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
