Shifting Involvements : Private Interest and Public Action - Twentieth-Anniversary Edition Paperback / softback
by Albert O. Hirschman
Part of the Eliot Janeway Lectures on Historical Economics series
Paperback / softback
Description
Why does society oscillate between intense interest in public issues and almost total concentration on private goals?
In this classic work, Albert O. Hirschman offers a stimulating social, political, and economic analysis dealing with how and why frustrations of private concerns lead to public involvement and public participation that eventually lead back to those private concerns.
Emerging from this study is a wide range of insights, from a critique of conventional consumption theory to a new understanding of collective action and of universal suffrage.
