| Summary: | pt. 1. Technology-driven social evolution -- pt. 2. And late development -- pt. 3. But culture does matter, too -- pt. 4. Polemics : for all the constraints of structure and culture, is there still room for hope and reason? Social evolution, economic development and culture brings together Ronald Dore's key writings for the first time, making his work accessible across a wide range of social science disciplines. It produces a distinctive perspective with four interlinking themes--technology-driven social evolution, late development, culture and polemics. These are highly topical in the current context of rapid technological innovation and socio-economic change, globalization and accompanying policy choices |
