The Freudian Psychology and Veblen's Social Theory (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781436713726)

The book ""The Freudian Psychology and Veblen's Social Theory"" by Louis Schneider is a comprehensive analysis of the intersection between the theories of Sigmund Freud and Thorstein Veblen. The author explores how Freud's psychoanalytic theories of the human psyche and Veblen's social theory of institutional economics can be combined to provide a more complete understanding of human behavior and social structures.The book begins by introducing the key concepts of Freudian psychology and Veblen's social theory, including the role of unconscious desires and the importance of social institutions in shaping individual behavior. The author then delves into the ways in which these two theories can be integrated, examining how Freudian concepts such as the id, ego, and superego can be applied to Veblen's analysis of economic institutions and social hierarchies.Throughout the book, Schneider provides numerous examples and case studies to illustrate his points, drawing on a wide range of sources from literature, film, and popular culture. He also addresses criticisms of both Freudian psychology and Veblen's social theory, arguing that a combined approach can help to address some of the limitations of each theory when considered in isolation.Overall, ""The Freudian Psychology and Veblen's Social Theory"" is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the intersection between two influential theories of human behavior and social structures. It will be of interest to scholars and students of psychology, sociology, economics, and related fields.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
