Book Synopsis Mathematics of Collective Action by : James Samuel Coleman
Download or read book Mathematics of Collective Action written by James Samuel Coleman and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Philosophers, social scientists, and laymen have used two perspectives in analyzing social action. One sees man's action as the result of causal forces, and the other sees action as purposive and goal directed. Mathematical treatment of social action has shown this same dichotomy. Some models of behavior describe a causal process, in which there is no place for intention or purpose. Most stochastic models of behavior, whether individual or group, are like this. Another body of work, however, employs purpose, anticipation of some future state, and action designed to maximize the proximity to some goal. Classical microeconomic theory, statistical decision theory, and game theory exemplify this direction. This book examines these two directions of work, and makes original contributions to the second. An introductory chapter outlines these two bodies of work, and casts them in a common frame, to display their similarities and differences. Chapter 2 reviews at length recent work in stochastic processes that makes up the first body of work, which sees social action as the resultant of causal forces. The remaining chapters develop a mathematical framework for the study of systems of social action using a purposive theoretical base. These chapters are designed particularly to contribute to the study of collective decisions, a form of social action that has proved particularly challenging to theoretical analysis. First published in 1973, this became a significant work both in problem solving and in the future career of the author. It is of continuing importance to researchers and students interested in statistical analysis."--Provided by publisher.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past hundred years changes in the structure of modern society have created an increasing asymmetry between individual persons and the corporate bodies with which they daily interact. The rise of the e new 'corporate actors"-government, business corporations, trade unions, associations-and our coexistence with them as natural persons pose problems never before confronted. James Coleman explores the implication of our modern asymmetric society for decision involving rights and risks, child rearing and the flow of information. He examines how corporate actors come to gain their right from natural persons; how they come to have life breathed into them; how their actions have serious economic and physical consequences for natural persons; and how reallocation of rights can be used to restrain their action . Coleman concludes hi provocative essays with a look into the future. The modern corporate actor allow natural per on freedom unknown to our forefather but has also placed many of us in impersonal, often inhuman bureaucracies. Is the corporate actor the la t such social invention? Or i there the possibility of a more attractive future, following still further social and corporate evolution?

Book Synopsis Unintended Consequences by : Deepak Lal
Download or read book Unintended Consequences written by Deepak Lal and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, based on the 1995 Ohlin Lectures, Deepak Lal provides an accessible, interdisciplinary account of the role of culture in shaping economic performance. Topics addressed include a possible future "clash of civilizations," the role of Asian values in the East Asian economic miracle, the cultural versus economic causes of social decay in the West, and whether modernization leads to Westernization. Lal makes an important distinction between material and cosmological beliefs, showing how both were initially shaped by factor endowments and how they have evolved in response to changing historical pressures in different civilizations. Lal's first major theme is the interaction of factor endowments, culture, and politics in explaining modern intensive growth in the West. The other major theme is the role of individualism--an inadvertent legacy of the medieval Catholic Church--in promoting this growth, and the strange metamorphoses this has caused in both the West's cosmological beliefs and the interaction between "the West and the rest." Lal takes account of the relevant literature in history, anthropology, social psychology, evolutionary biology, neurology, and sociology, and the economic history of the regions and cultures that form Eurasia. An appendix shows how the stories Lal tells can be described by four formal economic models.
