Scholars attempting to place Veblen in a particular intellectual tradition will only succeed in reaping frustration and confusion until it is recognized that he was primarily ^Isui generis^R and eclectic. This is the recurring theme that is made explicit in the introduction, conclusion, and some of the chapters of this work. Veblen was a thinker of such depth and power that he was able to create his own intellectual paradigm. The result of his endeavors is that more than a few intellectuals including his followers, the institutional economists, have spent their careers trying to understand the paradigm and to develop it in several directions for their own purposes.
RICK TILMAN is Professor of Public Administration at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Dr. Tilman is the author of C. Wright Mills: A Native Radical and the American Intellectual Tradition (1984), Thorstein Veblen and His Critics 1891-1963 (1992), and A Veblen Treasury (1993).
