Thorstein Veblen from nearby Nerstrand, a Carleton grad coined the term “conspicuous consumption,” spent seven years basically in hiding, and wrote a book that still drives economic thought 120 years after it was published.
Economist and social scientist Thorstein Veblen has been called one of Americaâs most original and creative thinkers. His highly acclaimed treatise âThe Theory of the Leisure Class: An Economic Study of Institutionsâ (1899) introduced the term âconspicuous consumption.â Veblenâs body of work remains seminal reading in understanding the modern consumer society and criticisms of capitalism.
Thorstein Bunde Veblen was born on July 30, 1857, in Cato Township, Manitowoc County, Wisconsin. He was the sixth of twelve children born to his parents, Thomas and Kari Bunde, who had emigrated in 1847 from Vang, Valdres, Norway. In the summer of 1865, the family moved to Nerstrand, Wheeling Township, Rice County, Minnesota.

Hardscrabble Road between Eagle and Gypsum, along with East Castle Peak and Greenhorn/Cottonwood Creek north of Gypsum, closed to motorized and mechanized vehicles on Saturday. The closure will last until April 15.
Winter logging operations will begin on Hardscrabble Road on Monday and are expected to continue through March. If the area receives snow, Hardscrabble Road will be plowed while the logging takes place.
A U.S. Forest Service contractor will cut and haul trees via the Hardscrabble Road, and the public may also encounter logging and plow traffic entering Brush Creek Road from Hardscrabble Road.
“The logging is being completed to improve overall forest health, provide forest products to local industries, and help reduce the risk and impacts from wildfires,” according to the U.S. Forest Service.
