Saving Society - Beyond Bureaucratic Barriers to Real Solutions

Zusatztext "The authors bring attention to the epistemological barriers that inhibit real progress in resolving society's most pressing problems. Phillips and Christner are most persuasive when they reflect on the shortcomings of the social sciences themselves. ? The authors demonstrate a realistic understanding of how progressive societal change can and does occur. In doing so! the authors are careful to ensure that their analysis renders actionable insights that can realistically form a basis for progressive social change. This type of realism is what the sociological imagination is all about. Mills would be pleased. Highly recommended."-CHOICE Informationen zum Autor Phillips, Bernard S; Christner, David Zusammenfassung Why do many problems throughout the world seem to be getting worse?
