Book: Explaining Social Behavior: More Nuts and Bolts for the Social Sciences
Author: Jon Elster
Pages: 484
Format: pdf
Language: English
ISBN10: 0521777445
A very cogent summary of Elster's main themes: rationality and how one departs from it, especially from the static notion common in current rational choice theory. Anyone interested in rationality and departures from rationality a topic much-ignored in current thinking and applications of rational choice theory should read this book. While I don't find that I agree with every conclusion Elster makes, he does make me think hard, which is about the best I ever expect.
