“Considering the inability of conventional economics to comprehend the socio-economic convulsions over the past few years in so many countries, it is surely time to try something else.” Thus reads Samuel Hollander’s blurb on the back cover of another recent book devoted to the great belle-époque iconoclast of Western economics, Norwegian-American Thorstein Veblen (1857-1929; David Reisman, The Social Economics of Thorstein Veblen, Cheltenham: Edward Elgar, 2012).
