Re: Veblen--a political economist for today (4.00 / 2)
Best relevant quote of Veblen on that subject might be:

"The laws of the land are written in the interests of the petty real estate speculator."

In other words, inflating real estate prices has been, at least in USA, a goal so widely shared that to even question it sounds like utter heresy to most people.
