Social networking fascinates scholars, pundits, and a billion
Facebook users. This book shows that whom we know has a vast impact
on our political beliefs, actions, and abilities. Prior scholarship
has shown that networks are crucial to explaining everything from
how bills get through Congress, why people vote, how NGO's become
successful in developing nations, and much more; yet an in-depth
analysis of the social basis of the rationality is missing. To fill
this void, The Social Basis of the Rational Citizen provides the
first empirical analysis of the most important hypothesized effect
of social network influence on politics: social cognition. Through
new lab experiments and survey data, this book shows that
decision-making in groups promotes more rational choices and better
citizenship. Thus, advice and learning derived from social network
contacts are shown to be the basis of decision-making for the
rational citizen.
