| Description: |
Why do people cooperate for the sake of their community, state or organisation? Here, field experts analyse examples of cooperation in modern society, from green choices of transport and volunteering to tax paying and political participation. |
| Synopsis: |
Why do so many people volunteer to help others in need in society today? What makes people give up the convenience of driving their car to benefit a better environment? And why are citizens, in general, quite prepared to pay taxes to ensure adequate health care, and support for the elderly and unemployed? These are examples of a more fundamental question addressed in this book: why do people cooperate for the welfare of their community, state, or organization? Cooperation in Modern Society is a unique collection of contributions from internationally reputed scholars across the social sciences. |
