Inhaltsangabe

This radical account of the evolution of political
social
and economic institutions weaves together strands of anthropology
sociology
political science
history
and economics. In a highly readable text
Howard Sherman explains the interconnections of ideas and economic forces
and traces the evolution of social and economic institutions from primitive times to the present. Sherman focuses on the myth of "inevitable progress" in technology
and argues that it progresses only when social and economic institutions and dominant ideas encourage it to improve. He shows that throughout history technology
as a part of the economic forces
ebbs and flows to create or undermine existing economic institutions.
