Envy: A Theory of Social Behavior
14.99 €
German sociologist Helmut Schöck's classic work presents a comprehensive analysis of envy as a socio-psychological and social phenomenon and as a motive for human social behavior. He examines the role of this emotion in maintaining the social structure of traditional societies and in the emergence of radical egalitarian and socialist movements. He demonstrates that institutionalized envy is one of the main obstacles to economic growth in developing countries. Using extensive material, he also examines the role of envy in contemporary politics and institutions in developed societies. The subject of the study is approached from an interdisciplinary perspective, drawing on anthropology, ethnography, psychology (psychoanalysis), literary studies, and other disciplines.

The book is intended for a wide range of readers studying or interested in sociology. It will also be useful to researchers studying issues of economic, social, and political development.
