The Moral Basis of a Backward Society - by Edward C Banfield (Paperback)

The Moral Basis of a Backward Society by Edward C.

Banfield is a groundbreaking study that exposes the harmful effects of nepotism and family-centric societies on poverty.

Through a detailed analysis of families in southern Italy in 1955, Banfield argues that self-interested families lead to an inability to trust or associate strongly outside of immediate family, ultimately resulting in poverty.

This influential work has been challenged and argued for years, but Banfield's findings remain relevant today.

Don't miss out on the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the complex relationship between family dynamics and economic prosperity with this thought-provoking book.
