      Abstract

      This work presents Thorstein Veblen's considerations on the history of economic thought, taking as a focus the neoclassical, historicist and Marxist contributions, specifically by Alfred Marshall, John B. Clark, Gustav Schmoller and Karl Marx. Understanding Veblen's role as a critic of economic theory is essential for the proper exploration of his impressions about the construction of this science. In its development, it is noted that Veblen's relations to his economist peers are listed in different ways. Seeking a useful and organized synthesis of Veblenian impressions, it is demonstrated here that the author's perception of economic thought is quite vast and converges with his theoretical propositions in the role of one of the founding fathers of the original institutionalism in North American. At the same time, the multifaceted role of his interpretations regarding economic thought is emphasized, since it mixes in criticism and admiration. The latter in particular for the case of Schmoller and Marx.
