Title: Institutions and Culture: Thorstein Veblen’s and Pierre Bourdieu’s economic thought in dialogue
Abstract: This article aims to explore elements of economic thought present in Thorstein Veblen and Pierre Bourdieu from the 
	perspective of the History of Economic Thought. These two authors, from distinct fields of analysis, produced in their 
	theories common analytical tools that may be appropriate to understand the influence of cultural aspects in the economic 
	process, especially when considering the concepts of habits, institutions, symbolic profit, social distinction and 
	conspicuous consumption. In this perspective, the paper proposes to conduct an analysis of the historical and theoretical 
	thinking of these authors, so compared in order to detect the main points of contact in their understanding of how 
	cultural value and its institutions influence patterns of economic consumption within a society.
Keywords: History of Economic Thought; Cultural Economics; Institutionalism.
