Title: Protecting the Elderly
Description: "Building on the pioneering work of anthropologist Mary Douglas and political scientist Aaron Wildavsky, this book develops and applies "grid-group" theory to show how political culture can be used to explain decisions about social policy and how this theory complements the now more dominant "rational choice" and "institutionalist" models."--BOOK JACKET.
