摘要
Pathologies of Rational Choice Theory is a valuable survey and critique of research in the rational choice tradition, but one that slights that tradition's past and potential contributions to the study of politics. The authors rightly note limitations of rational choice theory but understate what it has to offer political scientists, for they fail to focus clearly an its essentials; adapt too narrow a basis for evaluating scholarship; and wrongly identify rational choice theory with the shortcomings of same scholarship that makes use of it.
