Warren Samuels interprets Vilfredo Pareto's Treatise on General
Sociology in terms of a general equilibrium model of policy. Three
themes and one conviction run throughout the study. The first is a
model of policy making involving three sets of variables: power,
knowledge, and psychology. The second is a general equilibrium
approach to the study of these variables emphasizing their
fundamental interdependence. The third is the importance of
Pareto's work. Pareto is one of the few individuals whose work has
had enormous influence in at least three social sciences in the
twentieth century: economics, sociology, and political science.
Despite Pareto's attempt in the Treatise to produce a general
sociology encompassing all of these sciences (as well as
psychology), his work has been treated almost completely from the
perspectives of the individual disciplines. This volume's
interpretation is consonant with Pareto's intention in the
Treatise, namely, to provide a general equilibrium model of the
total socio-politico-economic decision-making or policy process.
The book is directed at those who comprehend these as processes
whose structure, conduct, and performance are a function of complex
decision making. Social scientists and policy analysts have moved
beyond models that solve problems in the abstract, without working
them out through policy making in the real world. The approach
outlined here is important to those who are interested in pursuing
the working rules of law and morals that govern the distribution
and exercise of power as well as the exercise of power that governs
the development of these rules.
