Altruism, gifts and symbolic exchange refer to a vast set of practices deeply embedded in our market societies. They were successively theorized by Auguste Comte, Marcel Mauss, and Pierre Bourdieu. This book follows the outline of a history that has hitherto been glimpsed only as a series of fragments and which needs to be reassembled in order to see its full scope. This history is structured in terms of three stages: a critique of political economy, a theoretical construction backed by empirical practices, and, finally, an assessment of the social effects of the dissemination of economic knowledge.

パレートの社会・政治思想入門

This book analyses Pareto's social and political thought a hundred years after his death, showing how the structure of the scholar's works is generally quite clear (contrary to what is commonly presumed), and how the maintenance of the social and political systems' equilibrium represents Pareto's main research focus . In particular, the aim of this book is to demonstrate how the author considers the 'right middle path' - in the social, economic, and political arenas - as the only way capable of ensuring social cohesion. The book will be of interest to scholars and researchers of sociology, sociological and political theory, and political science.
