Institutional economics has been a major part of economic thought
for the whole of the twentieth century, and today remains crucial
to an understanding of the development of heterodox economics. The
two principal publications that founded the school were Veblen's
The Theory of the Leisure Class and Commons's A Sociological View
of Sovereignty, both published in 1899.
As a tribute to these two seminal works, Warren Samuels has
assembled an exceptionally prestigious international group of
scholars to produce this landmark volume celebrating the centenary.
The chapters assess the work of Veblen and Commons and their
influence on the school of institutional economics from a variety
of theoretical perspectives. The contributions on Veblen appraise
his anthropological analysis of consumption habits of American
households from sociological, linguistic and feminist points of
view. Conversely, the essays on Commons's work focus on the
concepts of property, power and the relationship between legality
and economics.
