Sex, Money and Power

A detailed discussion of the nature of human bonds and social systems. Bill Jordan applies these ideas to the political economy and psychology of privacy in the modern world system. This book is a thoughtful and encouraging commentary on how we live today and how we might live tomorrow if we act properly.
Thomas J. Scheff, UC-Santa Barbara

Bill Jordan has written a very understandable book. Jordan provides formulas that shed light on the workings of the functionalist chains that link the private and public in the affluent world, a spider web of meanings revolving around sexual and emotional intimacy, money and material rewards, and the exercise of political power. But it does not leave us entangled in this web; Instead, it offers another formula that will provide a moral and political framework for escaping the functionalist connections between sex, money, and power.
Rosalind Edwards, London South Bank University

Privacy, choice, and movement: elements that constitute desirable lifestyles for the mainstream in affluent societies. They are also weakening traditional forms of power and control, creating a network of relationships between individuals around the world that looks set to be more flexible and less restrictive than ever before. However, Bill Jordan argues that today's global institutions exclude the majority of the world's population and that this majority is forced to rely on very different kinds of ties such as blood, land and faith. This book will be indispensable reading for students and experts of sociology and social policy, and social sciences in general, and effective reading for anyone interested in human relations and modern society.
