| Sumario: | This article immerses itself in the thought of Thorstein Veblen, inaugural of Economic Institutionalism. In his evolutionary research program, elaborated during industrial capitalism, the final stage was the society of his time, which became the object of validation of his theory. Hence the problem of the present research: to verify the applicability of Veblen's Economic Institutionalism to a contemporary, post-industrial society, marked by the dominance of global financial capital. His main works were rescued from an exploratory research, identifying the theories potentially relevant to this analysis. Using the bibliographical and documental methods, it was identified evident traits of contemporary society that converge with his theories, proving its timelessness, remaining an essential reference for the social sciences. |
