The Blond Race and the Aryan Culture (Classic Reprint) by Thorstein B. Veblen Pdf
Excerpt from The Blond Race and the Aryan Culture Such an introduction of tillage and grazing would mean a revolutionary change in the technology of the European stone age, and a technological revolution of this kind will unavoidably bring on something of a radical change in the scheme of institutions under which the community lives; primarily in the institutions governing the details of its eco nomic life, but secondarily also in its domestic and civil re lations. When such a change comes about through the in trusion of new material factors the presumption should be that the range of institutions already associated with these material factors in their earlier home will greatly in uence the resulting new growth of institutions in the new situation, even if circumstances may not permit these alien institutions to be brought in and put into effect with the scope and force which they may have had in the culture out of which they have come. Some assimilation is to be looked for even if circumstances will not permit the adoption of the full scheme of institutions, and the institutions originally associated with the intrusive technology will be found surviving with least loss or qualification in those portions of the invaded territory where the invaders have settled in force, and particularly where conditions have permitted them to retain something of their earlier manner of life.
