In this book, Sidney Plotkin and Rick Tilman argue that in addition to his well-known work in these fields Veblen also made important-and until now overlooked-statements about politics.While Veblen's writings seldom mention politics, they are saturated with political ideas: about the relationship among war, executive power, and democracy; about the similarities between modern executive positions and monarchy; about the political influence of corporate power; about the symbolism of politics; and about many other issues. By demonstrating the deep relevance of Veblen's writings to today's political troubles, The Political Ideas of Thorstein Veblen offers an important reconsideration of a major American thinker. 606 $aPolitical science$xPhilosophy 615 0$aPolitical science$xPhilosophy. 676 $a320.092 700 $aPlotkin$b Sidney$01605331 701 $aTilman$b Rick$0232138 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827981703321 996 $aThe political ideas of Thorstein Veblen$93930510 997 $aUNINA
