Question

What was Thorstein Bunde Veblen thoughts on “typical ways of thinking” and civilization in general?

Answer 1

Thorstein Bunde Veblen thoughts on “typical ways of thinking” and civilization, in general, are found in his sociological theory which suggests that all communities are organized in a manner that goods, tangible and intangible, symbolic and material are distributed. He views such distribution as unequal and necessarily involves power. Status groups make up the social order while the classes make up the economic order and parties the political order. Each order is affected or affects the other.
