Originally published in 1992, this book is about political culture.
It examines developments in the social sciences and integrates them
into a theoretical explanation of historical changes in political
values. The starting point is the premise that political culture is
rooted in the interaction between individual thinking and social
norms. Through discourse, individual conceptions of social life are
transformed and, interactively, social norms and cultural
orientations as well. The first two parts of the book explore these
issues theoretically. The second two examine them empirically by
showing the ways that political cultures have changed over time. In
the modern period the differences in the political cultures of
capitalist and communist systems are contrasted; although both
coneptualize social life in terms of property accumulation, they
utilize different cultural orientations to reduce institutional
transaction costs. The way the tensions between these two systems
can be resolved is also explored.
