We seem to be witnessing the rebirth of the concept of an
integrated social science, a complete theory of human action and
interaction in all its ramifica tions and complications. What we
call society is simply the totality of human exchange. Economics is
a theory of human exchange of certain types. Although the qualities
of what is being exchanged as well as the conditions of exchange
may vary, economic theory has recently broadened its scope
sufficiently to begin to be general enough to handle these problems
as well. In the present work we attempt to see what insights are
revealed by the application of economic categories to political
history. We feel there are many. At this point Silver stops. !
Auster continues. A quick spin around the "policy" block in the new
model so to speak, hence Chapter 8. For the rest, however, this is
truly a joint work. The authors' names appear in alphabetical
order. After 12 years of professional asso ciation, claims to
precedence in origination could too clearly be self-deception. !
Silver is even more pessimistic than Auster, in particular about
which types of reforms will be accepted. With the rise to affluence
of most members of our society the mass itself has become concerned
with political reform as almost a new form of entertainment. Unfor
tunately, they have no idea how to improve matters.
