The Theory of Business Enterprise (1904)
Thorstein Veblen (1857โ1929) was an American economist and sociologist, a founder of institutional economics. In The Theory of Business Enterprise (1904) he distinguished real industrial production from financial 'business' maneuvering aimed at profit for owners and management even when it doesn't serve the company's broader economic interest.
๐ง Core Philosophy
Check whether growth translates into real profitability aligned with shareholder interest, or whether management is 'empire-building' at the expense of efficiency.
โ Key Question
"Is management building real value, or just building itself?"
