Summary: This is an excellent book
Comment: Whomever wrote the other review probably only read the first page of the book. This book provides a very comprehensive analysis of the disciplines of economic theory, sociobiology and behavior theory. Barry Schwartz does an excellent job of illustrating the continuity between the three disciplines and gives an extensive theoretical analysis of them from within a modern conceptualization of the "good life." It is a pity that the other "patron" of this book did not find it quite so helpful as he had hoped. Perhaps it would be more appreciated if it was read with a willingness to admit to that which is true and to challenge that which seemed flawed. By no means does this book provide a perfect referential framework, but it is extremely insightful and brilliantly written.

Summary: psychobabble and baloney
Comment: This is a bunch of baloney, from the high priest of Political Correctness at Swarthmore, Barry Schwartz.
