Dear Colleagues   
  
I am looking for some quick passages in Veblen's work where he discusses  
non-economic goals (e.g. conspicuous consumption) and perhaps also the  
social/cultural embeddedness of agents (less obvious maybe?). My guess is  
that much of what currently goes under the guise of economic sociology can  
be found in Veblen and I need some "ammunition" against my sociologist  
friends and foes.   
  
Any pointers (e.g. chapters or page numbers in text) would be greatly  
appreciated.
