The Cement of Society - today's heet

in #sociology3 years ago

"The overarching norm don't stick your neck out acts as a deterrent to socially useful risk taking and to hard work.

The dead hand of tradition and envy keeps entrepreneurs in chains even when all might have benefited from their activities."

Jon Elster, The Cement of Society

This is just a quote from a book I'd recommend all people interested in governance in general, and governance of blockchain communities in particular, read attentively.

Indeed, it is probably one of the most relevant studies of the problem of cooperation and collective action by decentralized, uncoerced means.

As simple as when in my country we say: "He who does not risk does not win or lose." It gives food for thought. Thanks for the recommendation, I hope you have your version in Spanish. Successes!
