Politics in the Human Interest

Applying Sociology in the Real World

Beschreibung

This book presents the striking proposition that by paying attention to what's been learned about human behavior, we can develop a political agenda that is in the human interest. Such values provide the basis for an action-oriented sociology. Poltics in the Human Interest explores the theoretical foundation of a humanistic sociology. It is a call for the return to the original progressive agenda - that knowledge about human behavior can be used to create social progress and a better world.
