Missing Persons: A Critique of the Personhood in the Social Sciences - Wildavsky Forum Series
Mary Douglas
The Western cultural consensus based on the ideas of free markets and individualism has led many social scientists to consider poverty as a personal experience, a deprivation of material things, and a failure of just distribution. This book finds this dominant tradition of social thought about poverty and well-being to be full of contradictions.
