Honor among thieves? Socio-economic theories of Thorstein Veblen in the plays of David Mamet

Award-winning playwright David Mamet has acknowledged numerous times his indebtedness to the socio-economic theories of turn-of-the-century economist Thorstein Veblen, whom Mamet credits as influencing the motivation of the characters in several of his plays set in work-related environments. Veblen, who was largely influenced by Darwin and Freud, declared that the economic institution of capitalism encourages an instinctive predatory animus in man to surface due to capitalism\u27s encouragement of the ownership of private property. Veblen asserted that the desire for private property goes beyond one\u27s essential physiological needs and is driven instead by the psychological drive to improve one\u27s self-esteem and project a predatory image to one\u27s peers. Veblen introduced three key concepts regarding his socio-economic theory: predatory animus, pecuniary emulation and conspicuous waste. Interpreting Mamet\u27s business-oriented plays (American Buffalo, Glengarry Glen Ross, Speed the Plow and The Water Engine) based on these concepts will allow insight into Mamet\u27s point of view on the capitalist principles of the United States and his own motivation for creating such plays and the characters that inhabit them. By examining these plays from the perspective of a Veblenian critical theory, Veblen\u27s socio-economic theory of the leisure class will be tested as the foundation upon which Mamet builds dramatic structures that comment on the capitalist social structure of the United States. This study constructs and applies a Veblenian literary theory to Mamet\u27s plays to examine their subtext and to question whether that subtext is consistent with Veblen\u27s socio-economic theory on capitalism introduced in his first and most influential book, The Theory of the Leisure Class. This study then concludes that Mamet\u27s credit to Veblen as an influence is warranted. The characters in Mamet\u27s plays have a strong need to improve their self-esteem by successfully conveying a predatory image; the most respectable image a capitalist can achieve. Most of the characters in the plays in question fail to realize this sought-after level of predatory status, which is testament to the Darwinian nature of capitalism, where survival only comes to the fittest. The purpose of this study is two-fold: to further develop the largely overlooked theory of Veblenian literary interpretation and apply it thoroughly to the business plays of Mamet to examine how the theory works, and to introduce a new approach to Mamet scholarship; one that constructs a socio-economic interpretation of the canon by establishing a hierarchy of economic relationships and character motives
