Abstract: Abstract. An important recent publication of writings by and about Thorstein Veblen, entitled Essays, Reviews, and Reports; Previously Uncollected Writings (1973), sheds new light on the social critic's work and influence. It was edited by Joseph Dorfman and includes a book by him entitled New Light on Veblen. Veblen's reviews are examined and evaluated. Dorfman's collection of material is surveyed, and it is seen that Veblen influenced an extremely wide range of important people besides the economists known as “institutionalists.” The book will be an essential source for anyone who tries to assess the impact of Veblen on our culture, and it is also a monument to Dorfman's dedication to its subject.
