Book Overview
Social scientists have long recognized that solidarity is essential for such phenomena as social order, class, and ethnic consciousness, and the provision of collective goods. In presenting a new general theory of group solidarity, Michael Hechter here contends that it is indeed possible to build a theory of solidarity based on the action of rational individuals and in doing so he goes beyond the timeworn disciplinary boundaries separating the various social sciences.

About as Good as it Could Be
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
The Lewis review makes some good points, but unless you can recommend a book that does everything Hechter does and more, then this is essential reading for everyone interested in the topic.
