About the book
This book offers an original combination of culture and narrative theory with an empirical study of identity and political action. It is at once a powerful critique of rational choice theories of action and a solution to the historiographical puzzle of why Sweden went to war in 1630. Erik Ringmar argues that people act not only for reasons of interest, but also for reasons of identity, and the latter are, in fact, more fundamental.
First sentence: Why did Sweden go to war in 1630?
