Description

Robert H. Thouless’s Social Psychology: A Textbook for Students of Economics (1931) presents an insightful exploration of the psychological principles underlying social and economic behavior. Written specifically for students of economics, the book bridges psychology and social science, explaining how attitudes, group influences, emotions, and motivations shape human decision-making and economic activity. Thouless employs clear language and practical examples to illustrate key concepts, making complex ideas accessible to non-psychologists. This work stands as an early and influential contribution to the interdisciplinary study of human behavior, offering valuable perspectives for understanding the psychological foundations of social and economic life.
