Capitalism, Socialism, and Democracy

"This book is notable in more than one respect. The author, a leading theorist in the field of pure economics, here cuts loose and gathers into the sweep of his analysis psychological, cultural, historical and political considerations which the pure economist is conventionally supposed to shun or to be incapable of handling. The result is a book as meaty and deep-probing as it is broad in its survey of the cultural forces which determine the evolution of institutions, particularly of economic systems. . . .On the whole, this is a 'must' book." - Political Science Quarterly
