Why does society oscillate between intense interest in public issues and almost total concentration on private goals? In this classic work, Albert O. Hirschman offers a stimulating social, political, and economic analysis dealing with how and why frustrations of private concerns lead to public involvement and public participation that eventually lead back to those private concerns. Emerging from this study is a wide range of insights, from a critique of conventional consumption theory to a new understanding of collective action and of universal suffrage.

The argument is that people who meet disappointments in their private life, particularly as consumers of products that don't give ultimate satisfaction, will seek fulfillment by getting involved in public affairs instead. But then they will for various reasons be disappointed by public life as well, and return again to private matters. I found this argument strange, unconvincing and uninteresting. Even if the author is right, so what? I don't see how these questions have any relevance for political theory or practical politics.
I would advise against taking off with any parts of this book. There are many better works for that purpose.
