The Instinct of Workmanship, originally issued in 1914, is described by Murray Murphey as his "most important work." It is in this volume that the theoretical foundations are put forth on full display. Veblen's juxtaposition of the instinctive values of community welfare in contrast to the pecuniary values of commercial exchange was the basis of his later, more famous works. The book makes plain Veblen's basic dichotomy between technological institutions for making goods and the pecuniary institutions for making money.

?The World War, the Treaty of Versailles, the Weimar Republic, the invasion of the Ruhr, inflation, acute depression, Hitler--all this and more has been unable to date Veblen's analysis.... History must be more than biography and accident or else a book written a quarter of a century ago could not remain the best guide to the most terrifying country in Christendom.?-Saturday Review of Literature
