Title: Sex is not as simple as Hirshman makes out
Review: This book represents another step in the reduction of human affairs to legally arbitrated exchanges and misses the unique quality of sex. The very power of sex lies in its connection to a hoped-for reciprocity, a spontaneous and unstoppable expression of passion or love. Such an expression cannot be compared to, for instance, the exchange between a merchant and client. In such an expression there is no buyer and seller, personal walls break down. Hirshman's humorless account of sex does violence to the emotional and spiritual experience of the act, missing, in fact, that it is not an act at all, but an event.
