A Sociological Critique of the Economic Theory of Politics

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Public choice has been one of the most important developments in the social sciences in the last twenty years. However there are many people who are frustrated by the uncritical importing of ideas from economics into political science.

In order to arrive at a more comprehensive understanding of political life, political scientists must learn from both economists and sociologists.
