Thorstein Veblen je nekoč dejal, da je študij instinktov njegov edini pomembnejši doprinos k ekonomski teoriji. Instinkti so pogoji in vzroki v ozadju oblikovanja miselnih navad, medtem ko so slednje sine qua non gradniki institucij. Članek zastavlja sledeče vprašanje: kakšno konceptualno obliko bi zavzela Veblenova relacija med instinkti-miselne navade-institucije, če bi jo zastavili kot formalni sistem? Pri tem miselne navade razume kot čiste ideje v Platonovem smislu (eidos) – mnoštva mišljena kot Ideje –, kot jih podaja teorija matematičnih množic Georga Cantorja ter filozofsko osmišlja postulat Alaina Badiouja »matematika je ontologija«. Namen članka je: (1) pokazati, kako so miselne navade, ki privzamejo obliko institucij, abstrahirane od vse vsebine, lahko formalno mišljene kot matematične množice; (2) povezati Veblenov ključni instinkt, delovni instinkt, v ekvivalenco z aksiomom prazne množice in s tem nakazati Veblenovo materialistično orientacijo.
