The Rational Peasant. The Political Economy of Rural Society in Vietnam

Opis książki:

"A model of clarity, taking the reader through the regional varieties of traditional forms of government, through the period of French rule, the Second Worid War and the final period of revolution and, at each stage, showing convincingly that events and institutional changes are made more intelligible from the point of view of political economy and that less is explained by morał economy ... a considerable achievement. I know of no contemporary social scientist who has put the case for the political economy view more convincingly." -F. G. Bailey "As a defender of the morał economy notion, I found myself in frequent disagreement and frequent discomfort, but had to admit that Popkin made many telling points.... a stimulating and valuable contribution." -Charles Tilly "Popkins study uses a political economy approach to explain individual and community behavior of peasants. There is real merit in the approach. What emerges from the empirical/historical analysis represents a major contribution." - Theodore W. Schultz
