The instinct of workmanship, and the state of industrial arts Paperback – 20 February 2024
by Thorstein Veblen (Author)
4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars 3 ratings
"The Instinct of Workmanship, and the State of Industrial Arts" by Thorstein Veblen is a classic book that explores the relationship between workmanship and industrial arts. Veblen, a renowned author and writer, uses a combination of sociological and economic analysis to examine the production and consumption of goods. The book argues that workmanship, which refers to the skill, knowledge, and craftsmanship involved in the creation of goods, is an essential quality that affects the value and quality of products. Veblen contends that in modern industrial society, the importance of workmanship has been overshadowed by the emphasis on profit and efficiency. Veblen also examines the state of industrial arts, which refers to the techniques, tools, and technologies used in the production of goods. He criticizes the mechanization and dehumanization of the industrial process, arguing that it leads to a decline in workmanship and the production of inferior goods. Overall, "The Instinct of Workmanship, and the State of Industrial Arts" challenges traditional economic theories and offers a unique perspective on the relationship between workmanship, industrial arts, and modern society. Veblen's insightful analysis continues to be relevant today, making this book a must-read for anyone interested in economics, sociology, and industrial arts.

The Instinct of Workmanship and the Irksomeness of Labor Paperback – 21 January 2015
by Thorstein Veblen (Author)
5.0 5.0 out of 5 stars 2 ratings
Originally published in 1899, this is a work by Thorstein Veblen, an American economist and sociologist. It is an article written for the American Journal of Sociology publication outlining some of his theories on work. We are republishing this work with a brand new introductory biography of the author with the aim of placing it in the context of his other writings and achievements. The following passage is an extract from the article: 'It is one of the commonplaces of the received economic theory that work is irksome. Many a discussion proceeds on this axiom that, so far as regards economic matters, men desire above all things to get the goods produced by labor and to avoid the labor by which the goods are produced. In a general way the common-sense opinion is well in accord with current theory on this head. According to the common-sense-ideal, the economic beatitude lies in an unrestrained consumption of goods, without work; whereas the perfect economic affliction is unremunerated labor. Man instinctively revolts at effort that goes to supply the means of life'

베블런의 이 책은 사적 소유권의 기원을 다룬 <소유의 기원>과 함께 읽어야 한다. 베블런의 노동관과 마르크스의 그것을 비교하며 읽어보아도 재밌는데 그러려면 내가 빨리 책을 내야..ㅠ 아무튼 베블런의 이 책은 꼼꼼히 읽어야 한다. 고전 공부는 정말 끝모를 즐거움을 준다.
