Dismal Science

How Thinking Like an Economist Undermines Community

Beschreibung

Insurance may be an efficient way of organizing resources, but the deep social and human ties that constitute community are weakened by the shift from reciprocity to market relations. This book dissects the ways in which foundational assumptions of economics justify a world in which social connections are impoverished.
