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. Public Choice uses both empirical evidence and theoretical analysis to argue that the economic theory of politics is limited in scope and fertility. In order to arrive at a more comprehensive understanding of political life, political scientists must learn from both economists and sociologists.

Detta kapitel ur boken Social handling och sociala relationer ger en god orientering både över den klassiska sociologins grundteman och dess idéhistoriska uppkomst från Thomas Hobbes och framåt. Texten belyser de enskilda sociologerna – Marx, Tönnies, Durkheim, Simmel, Weber – och deras väsentliga begrepp, och visar hur de fortfarande är avgjort aktuella.Kapitlet kopplar också viktiga sociologiska begrepp och grundfrågor till olika metodologiska spörsmål. Texten lämpar sig utmärkt som introduktion till de klassiska sociologerna, och för den som redan är bekant med sociologiämnet ger texten en god sammanfattning över centrala tankegångar.Denna titel är en beställningsvara, vilket innebär att den trycks först när en order läggs.
