Trust and Power Luhmann NiklasPaperback
In this important book, Niklas Luhmann uses his powers as an analyst of the social system to examine two of the most important concepts which hold that system together and allow it to evolve: trust and power. Theories of rational choice and moralistic explanations are taken to task, as are the theories of both Marx and Habermas. He criticises those theoretical accounts whose roots lie in what he refers to as ideologies - accounts which use implicit beliefs in particular conceptions of human nature to explain and predict social action in a one-dimensional way.
Underlying this approach is the idea that ideologically-based social theory, whether critical or conservative, is unable to do justice to the complexities existing within the parameters Luhmann's unique scientific sociology underpins every page and enables him to highlight the potential shortcomings of these narrative approaches.
