Kurum, içgüdü ve alışkanlık kavramları temelinde veblen’in kurumsal evrim teorisi

İçgüdü, kurum ve alışkanlık kavramları Veblen’in iktisadi analizinin temelini oluşturur. Veblen kurumsal evrim sürecine ilişkin yaptığı değerlendirmeleri bu kavralar üzerinden yürütmüştür. Bu çalışmada bu kavramların Veblen’in kurumsal evrim teorisi içindeki rolleri irdelenecek ve Veblen’in teorisinin literatürdeki bireyin toplumsal ve kurumsal evrim sürecindeki rolüne ilişkin tartışmalara ve özellikle “Yeni İktisat Sosyolojisi” olarak adlandırılan yaklaşıma yeni bir perspektif kazandırabileceği ileri sürülecektir.

Veblen’s institutonal evolution theory in the context of the concepts of institution, instinct and habit

The concepts of instinct, institution, and habit constitute the foundation of Veblen’s economic analysis. Veblen makes his evaluations on institutional evolution process over these concepts. This study analyzes the roles of these concepts in the theory of Veblen’s institutional evolution, and argues that Veblen’s theory brings a new perspective to the discussions in the literature on the role of the individual in the process of social and institutional evolution, especially to the approach called “New Economic Sociology”.
