Thanks everyone. Erik Dean suggested the place of science which I had in pdf and did a word search.
From Industrial and Pecuniary Employments on page 285 of The Place of Science in Modern Civilization.
"Viewed from the standpoint of the collective interest, the economic process is rated primarily as a process for the provision of the aggregate material means of life.”

I might be thinking of something else, but I think it was Gruchy who coined the term. Not sure if Veblen used it. I want to say that you can find a definition of economics in Veblen's Prof. Clark's Economics or The Limitations of Marginal Utility, but I don't recall exactly where or what it was. Well, perhaps that's of some help...

Does anyone know off hand where Veblen defines economics as the study of social provisioning?
Alas, I am away from home and my library.
