crl-14330	Metz, Paul	How Institutions Think (Book Review)	1987	3	.pdf	application/pdf	1701	80	54	Much of Douglas' analysis is devoted to refuting various theoretical efforts to bal- ance the books of social exchange in an at- tempt to redeem informed self-interest as the exclusive motor of social action. Her eclecticism in finding the strands of her argument in Mancur Olson's classic Logic of Collective Action (which brilliantly draws the limits of col- lective action), in examples drawn from social psychology and from the history of science, and even in the nomenclature used by California vintners, makes this short book a stimulating, but also a diffi- cult, adventure in the history of modern thought.	cache/crl-14330.pdf	txt/crl-14330.txt
