Abstract: Abstract. From the notes of a graduate student, James E. Hagerty, there has survived a record of sorts of what Thorstein Veblen taught at the University of Chicago in 1896–97. It shows that Veblen was working out in the classroom the ideas he presented formally after 1889, particularly the idea that “Differences in political economy now and in the past are due to a difference in psychology”—in “the point of view from which the facts are handled.” Veblenian thought was the product of the prevailing scientific philosophy. The Hagerty notes are presented in full in an appendix.
