This book considers Veblen's preoccupation with the dark places of business enterprise, an integral part of the old institutional economics. Combining contributions made by Kapp and Mirowski, it proposes the systematization of an institutional theory of social costs of business enterprise useful for the analysis of contemporary crises.
