Veblen's work has also often been cited in American literary works. He is featured in "The Big Money" by John Dos Passos, and mentioned in Carson McCullers' "The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter" and Sinclair Lewis's "Main Street". One of Veblen's PhD students was George W. Stocking, Sr., a pioneer in the emerging field of industrial organization economics. Another was Canadian academic and author Stephen Leacock, who went on to become the head of Department of Economics and Political Science at McGill University. The influence of "Theory of the Leisure Class" can be seen in Leacock's 1914 satire, "Arcadian Adventures with the Idle Rich".
