Veblen focuses on scientists: meant to drive knowledge breakthroughs, they are constrained by commercial demands—research must be "useful" (e.g., patentable) to receive funding. He critiques the "utilitarianization of science": basic science is neglected for lacking "immediate returns," while applied science becomes a tool of capital. This "taming" of science remains a pain point in research today.
