    Seeing Like a State: How Certain Schemes to Improve the Human Condition Have Failed: (Yale Agrarian Studies)

    Description

    Why do well-intentioned plans for improving the human condition go tragically awry? In a wide-ranging and original study, James C. Scott analyzes failed cases of large-scale authoritarian plans in a variety of fields. He argues that centrally managed social plans derail when schematic visions are imposed on long-established structures without taking into account preexisting interdependencies.
