9. A Good Book for Social Sciences Lovers

I've found a book entitled "The Scientific Study of Society" by Max Steuer (LSE) particularly interesting. Here's G.A. Akerlof's* comment:

"This great book by Max Steuer uniquely approaches a variety of important questions, including crime, housing, money... from the viewpoint of all the five major social sciences... it is a MUST READ for every practitioner and user of social science, as it is a much needed counterweight to the overspecialization of almost all social science."


*G.A. Akerlof: Goldman Professor of Economics, UC Berkeley, and winner of 2001 Nobel Prize in Economics.
