Why does society oscillate between intense interest in public
issues and almost total concentration on private goals? In this
classic work, Albert O. Hirschman offers a stimulating social,
political, and economic analysis dealing with how and why
frustrations of private concerns lead to public involvement and
public participation that eventually lead back to those private
concerns. Emerging from this study is a wide range of insights,
from a critique of conventional consumption theory to a new
understanding of collective action and of universal suffrage.
