Abstract

This paper deals with Commons?s and Veblen?s position on the specific institution of family. Commons adheres to the conventional pattern in which men are in charge of the livelihood and woman of the affective side. He admits the inequality between men and women. The historical evolution let simply expect the development of relationships based more on persuasion than on coercion. Veblen, for his part, backs feminism. According to him, women must become emancipated and work outside the home. Keeping them within the household enables men to establish a domination mainly expressed through ?conspicuous? consumption and ?vicarious? leisure. Classification JEL : B15, B25, J16, J70
