Vilfredo Pareto is a key figure in the history of economics and
sociology. His sociological works attempted to merge these two
disciplines through a psychologistic analysis of society, economy
and politics. This is the first book to rethink Pareto's
contribution to classical sociology by focusing upon its
psychological underpinning. The author locates the origins of
Pareto's psychologistic approach both within the history of Italian
thought and within Pareto's own experiences of business and
politics. He evaluates Pareto's sociology through the lens of
contemporary social science, examining whether its explanatory
power is growing rather than diminishing as levels of social and
epistemological complexity rise. The volume also explores Pareto's
assumptions about personality through the lens of contemporary
psychology. It concludes with a psychometric study of Westminster
MPs which clarifies and attests to Pareto's contemporary relevance,
and indicates that even practitioners of politics may gain much
from reading Pareto.
