5.0 out of 5 stars A seminal work, January 4, 2000

By	ed (SF CA) - See all my reviews

I can't say enough how much this book has been a source of insight to me. It is a serious work, but it is very well written and quite accessible.

He explores in this book as he does in others, the hidden and emotional sides of social bonds. Our ambivalence about athorinty is the subject of the book. John Locke thought all we had to do was get rid of kings to be free, but Sennet and the rest of us know we are still not free. why?

read this and start to at least ask some of the right questions.
