The Passions and the Interests - (Princeton Classics) by Albert O Hirschman (Paperback)

The Passions and the Interests is a groundbreaking book by Albert Hirschman that redefines our understanding of the rise of capitalism.

Hirschman challenges the conventional wisdom of a sharp break between old and new, instead arguing that the intricate ideological transformation occurred gradually over time.

This thought-provoking volume sheds light on the complex ideological change from which capitalism emerged triumphant, revealing the ironical finding that material interests were initially assigned the role of containing unruly passions.

With a new afterword by Jeremy Adelman and a foreword by Amartya Sen, this Princeton Classics edition offers fresh insights into the endogenous process of ideological change.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to expand your knowledge of the intricate ideological transformation that shaped modern market economy.
