There is a well known passage in which Thorstein Veblen ridicules the
neoclassical conception of the economic agent.  So far as I remember
he uses phrases like "a quivering globule of desire" and "lightning
calculator of pleasures and pains".  Can anyone help me out with the
precise citation for these remarks?

Thanks.
