Of Athena and Hermes

The works included in this volume represent a collection of essays in social theory and political economy written in New York since the author's years as a graduate student at the New School for Social Research. The thrust of theorizing at the New School captured the best of European continental thought and some of the best tendencies in American political economy, and particularly urban political economy. Social science aims at understanding a world in constant change and the essays here illustrate some aspects of such change at various levels.
