ABSTRACT
More than a century ago, Thorstein Veblen introduced the term ‘neoclassical’ into economics prima facie to characterise a particular ‘school’. The latter quotation marks were provided by Veblen himself, suggesting that there may be a sense, however, in which the object of focus was not really a school of thought at all. Even so, Veblen certainly had in mind the nature of the output of a set of contributors, as we shall see.
