Descripción
Sumario:Lindblom examines how ordinary citizens in a democratic society go about gathering facts and grapple with social and political problems. He contends that ignorance, peer pressure, illiteracy and the use of media for propaganda purposes deter most citizens from the kinds of inquiry necessary for rational problem-solving. Lindblom argues that every concept of the public welfare favors some groups over others, and criticizes massive public apathy, the restricted flow of information, and social scientists who pretend to be neutral.
