It isn’t the book´s fault. I don’t know what I was thinking but I definitely didn’t expect it to be a sociological monograph. I gave it a try but… Reading Weber and Foucault brought me back to my first years on the university. It wasn’t a bad feeling. It just reminded me how different sociology can be and why I didn’t like it.
