Structural change driven by institutions: Thorstein veblen revised

Guglielmo Forges Davanzati

Structural Change and Economic Dynamics, 2018, vol. 45, issue C, 105-110

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to provide a theoretical framework where, starting from the analysis of the behaviour of the firm in a Veblenian perspective, income distribution is primarily determined by technological factors, and where distributive conflicts (involving technicians vs. businessmen and workers vs. the leisure class) play a crucial role. The schema is intended to connect the works of Thorstein Veblen in the belief that the picture he presents in The theory of the leisure class is the “general case” with respect to the topics dealt with in his subsequent works
