===Publications on "The Blond Race" and "Aryan Culture"===
Historiographical debates continue over Veblen's commissioned 1913 writings on "the blond race" and "the Aryan culture" in the context of [[Cultural anthropology|cultural]] and [[social anthropology]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Veblen |first1=Thorstein |title=The Blond Race and the Aryan Culture: By Thorstein B.

Many, if not most, of these historical studies, as well as scholarly appraisals of his 1915–19 articles on [[Japan]]ese industrial expansion and the distinct politics of the [[Jews]], maintain strict distinctions between Veblen's renunciation of "invidious" [[scientific racism]] and Veblen's [[Eurocentrism|eurocentric]] assumptions, if any.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Broda |first1=Philippe |title=Egalitarianism and Bias: Veblen and the Jewish Question |journal=Jewish Political Studies Review |date=2020 |volume=31 |issue=1/2 |pages=245–264 |jstor=26870796 |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/26870796 |issn=0792-335X}}</ref>
