Rational Peasant: The Political Economy of Rural Society in Vietnam / Edition 1

by Samuel L. Popkin

Overview

Popkin develops a model of rational peasant behavior and shows how village procedures result from the self-interested interactions of peasants. This political economy view of peasant behavior stands in contrast to the model of a distinctive peasant moral economy in which the village community is primarily responsible for ensuring the welfare of its members.
