Reviews
From the reviews:
“Ratner (Institute for Cultural Research and Education) proposes that the solutions to the world problems lie within the communal roots of cooperative behaviors. He argues for a social paradigm shift, positioning cooperation as a broad praxis rooted in various social sciences. … Ratner’s book is educational and stimulating. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty and professionals.” (I. I. Katzarska-Miller, Choice, Vol. 50 (9), May, 2013)
