Reader Reviews
This book is slightly esoteric and fails to keep in line with its thesis primariliy do to the authors on exuberance for a topic he seems so well acquianted with. In the current debates over globalization, and both the neo-left and neo-right resorting to base generalizations about the human cultural experience, much to the service of demegougery. The author contends that culture is not an absolute and provides an awesome rebuttal to the cultural relatvisim that has plagued Universities in the West since the Boasian school of anthropology became accepted at Orthodoxy. The author is not completely opposed to the idea of culture however he believed that culture can be placed into a rational calculus and must be if economist are going to be able to address problems of global development. Though the book apppears cold iin its debunking of such an academic sacred cow, the authors sympathy for the human experience and its potential emerges throughout the work. I think it would be useful to people of all ideological persuasions, ranging form classical Marxist to Neo Liberals and in between. Even if you are apathetic, read this seminal work that may one day be regarded as a classic. You won't have many regrets.
