Title: One of the WORST books on the subject!!!!!!
Review: I think it is terrible, and I nevertheless recommend people read it to see why it is so bad.Yes, I think it is the worst book. Why? Two reasons.The first is that it is so Eurocentric. Come on! Enough already of this European conception of objective happiness, development, economic growth, bla, bla, bla... This is all "blond-hair-blue eye-short-upper-lip" Anglosaxon ... There is no such thing as "objectively good" path of development. When will the scholars finally learn that? The authors should read Polanyi again or something.Second, there is no account of how STRUCTURE influences CULTURE and cultural perception of the structure. The authors show only one way causality, and I think they did it on purpose and are fully aware of it. But to say that culture matter is exactly 50% of the story. Where is the rest 50%? The only review on this page ...touches a little bit on the problem.
Is the review positive or negative?
