Private Desires, Political Action is an accessible overview of one
of the most important approaches to the study of politics in the
modern world - rational choice theory. Michael Laver does not set
out to review this entire field, but rather to discuss how we might
use rational choice theory to analyze the political competition
that affects almost every aspect of our lives. The broad-ranging
scope of the book introduces the theory at many levels of analysis,
including: the private desires of individuals; the social context
of how people fulfil their desires; and the problems of collective
action. The discussion of these problems extends into the arena of
politics, where the activities of `political entrepreneurs' or
politicians and the formation of political parties and coalitions
are addressed.
