Thorstein Veblen  

Definición

  • Thorstein Veblen (1857–1929), along with Max Weber, Vilfredo Pareto, and Werner Sombart, worked at the intersection of economics and sociology. Veblen's memorable concept of “conspicuous consumption” formed a lasting link between economics and sociology by focusing attention on status seeking, which motivates a great deal of economic behavior but must be understood in sociological rather than in purely economic terms.
