Private Desires, Political Action is an accessible overview of one of the most
important approaches to the study of politics in the modern world - rational
choice theory. Michael Laver does not set out to review this entire field, but
rather to discuss how we might use rational choice theory to analyze the
political competition that affects almost every aspect of our lives.
The broad-ranging scope of the book introduces the theory at many levels of
analysis, including: the private desires of individuals; the social context of
how people fulfil their desires; and the problems of collective action. The
discussion of these problems extends into the arena of politics, where the
activities of `political entrepreneurs' or politicians and the formation of
political parties and coalitions are addressed.
