Description of  Social Relations and Social Exclusion: Rethinking Political Economy (Routledge Studies in Governance and Public Policy)

Examining the rational individual, this book develops a new approach to the theory of social relations. It explores how far we make sense of society on the assumption that people act as independent and free individuals, exercising rational choice. Re-examining the family, community, workplace and state, the author offers a thorough and original critique of the social policies of 'New Labour'.
