The Myth of Individualism is a wonderful, concise introduction to
sociology and sociological thinking, showing readers how social
forces shape our lives and the world. Revised and updated
throughout, the third edition of this powerful book continues to
challenge the common belief that human behavior is the result of
free choices made by autonomous actors, but rather shows the many
ways that people are naturally social, interdependent, and shaped
by social forces. Filled with engaging stories and deep research,
The Myth of Individualism helps readers begin to develop a
sociological imagination. By acknowledging the limits of individual
effort and control, we gain insight into our own lives and the
lives of others. The third edition maintains the overall structure
of the second edition while adding a new chapter on the power of
the state that outlines the myriad ways-both seen and unseen-that
government shapes our lives. The new edition also features more
material on social media, updated discussions of race, and more.
The book examines the importance of cultural symbols, the pressures
of group conformity, the influence of family, the impact of social
class, the reach of global capitalism, and the revolutionary
potential of collective action. The third edition of The Myth of
Individualism is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding
the subtle and unshakeable ways social forces shape our lives.
