Abstract
Veblen: The Making of an Economist Who Unmade Economics (2020) by the sociologist Charles Camic, is a big book with 363 pages of text proper, 112 pages of end notes and 13 pages of index. Veblen is well known among economists for his work on conspicuous consumption, which mainstream economics textbooks regard as an anomaly. In Veblen, Camic undertakes an "historical study of the connection between Thorstein Veblen’s economic ideas… and how he was born and bred intellectually” (2020:2). In the process, Camic successfully captures Veblen’s sociological and historical approach to economics: very unlike contemporary marginalist economics.
