Büyük
Buhran öncesi dönemde toplumsal dönüşümler gerçekleşmiş, teknolojinin gelişimi
kitlesel üretim faaliyetlerini arttırmış, büyük şirketler kazançlarını reel
üretim faaliyetlerinin yanında finans sektöründe değerlendirmeye başlamıştır.
Modern Zamanlar filmi, böyle bir dönemi resmetmiş ve krizin sonuçlarını
toplumun gözünden anlatmıştır. Bu makalenin amacı, ortodoks iktisatın
kabullerine eleştirel bir yaklaşım getiren ve Kurumsal İktisat’ın kurucusu
kabul edilen Veblen’in iktisat anlayışını, dönemin ekonomik ve sosyal
şartlarını büyük ölçüde yansıtan Modern Zamanlar filmindeki anlatım temelinde
somutlaştırmak, Veblen’in iktisat literatürüne katkılarını film ile ortak
noktaları esas alarak tartışmak ve ekonomik krizlere neden olan davranışları
analiz etmektir.

Modern Times and Veblen

Öz

In the pre-Great Depression period, social transformations took place and the development of technology increased the mass production activities. Large corporations have started to transfer their profits in the financial sector as well as in real production activities. Modern Times depicted this period and described the consequences of the crisis in terms of society. The aim of this article is to embody Veblen's theory of economics by adhering to the Modern Times, which reflects the economic and social circumstances of the period and to analyze the behavior of individuals that led to economic crises.
