About this product
Product Information
With intelligence and clarity of observation, the author of The Death and Life of Great American Cities addresses the moral values that underpin working life. In Systems of Survival , Jane Jacobs identifies two distinct moral syndromes--one governing commerce, the other, politics--and explores what happens when these two syndromes collide. She looks at business fraud and criminal enterprise, government's overextended subsidies to agriculture, and transit police who abuse the system the are supposed to enforce, and asks us to consider instances in which snobbery is a virtue and industry a vice. In this work of profound insight and elegance, Jacobs gives us a new way of seeing all our public transactions and encourages us towards the best use of our natural inclinations.

Reviews
"Altogether magnificent . . . Probably no single thinker has done more in the last fifty years to transform our ideas about the nature of urban life." -- Chicago Tribune "[With] piercing analysis, crystalline prose and [a] finely-honed sense of morality, Jacobs covers an amazing amount of ground." -- Cleveland Plain Dealer "Superb . . . Cobbling together a little urban anthropology, a little economic history, and a vast store of highly nuanced personal observations . . . Jacobs is an indispensable provocateur." -- Village Voice Literary Supplement, "Altogether magnificent... Probably no single thinker has done more in the last fifty years to transform our ideas about the nature of urban life."--Chicago Tribune From the Trade Paperback edition., "Altogether magnificent...

I’m thrilled to be able to purchase these from this wonderful Seller. I’ve moved a couple of times and these books were a victim of being lost or left behind in one of the moving boxes. My daughter recently asked me about them and was over the moon when I saw them from this Seller and at such a reasonable price. They were received quickly & were inside a holder for the 4 set book that was cellophane plastic. The books are in PRISTINE I highly recommend this Seller for all those buyers ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
