FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This short treatise looks at how we construct a social reality from our sense impressions; at how, for example, we construct a "five-pound note" with all that implies in terms of value and social meaning, from the printed piece of paper we see and touch. Notes Money, marriage, property and government are facts, yet they exist only because we believe they exist. The author reveals the character of these fundamental social structures, together with the striking simplicity of their essential logic.
