[.ca] Sociologists, Economists, and Democracy (ISBN 0226038246)

How economists and sociologists explain:
This little book is a gem. By discussing how economists and sociologists have tried to explain political behavior, Barry discusses some conceptual problems within the social sciences at large. The value of reading this book comes not only from the lucid treatment of it's main objective: the successes and failures of the economic and sociological approaches to political behavior. It is also a great help to understand the foundations and implicit assumptions within these approaches. The treatment is exceptionally lucid and should be of interest not only to students of political science.
