Abstract: The paper tries to show that the utility of Veblen ‘s writings does not depend on the relevance of his psychological theory. Rather, it seems more accurate to consider the basis of Veblen‘s work as a discourse on human nature, i. e. an anthgropology. In this view, man is not primarly rational ; therefore, a condition of an institutional and evolutionary theory exists. The main feature of this theory is to resist to crisis of marxism and to become even the very pattern of the criticism of capitalist society.
