{"product_id":"erotic-capital-catherine-hakim-9780465027477","title":"Erotic Capital: The Power of Attraction in the Boardroom and the Bedroom","description":"In 2010, pioneering sociologist Catherine Hakim shocked the world with a provocative new theory: In addition to the three recognized personal assets (economic, cultural, and social capital), each individual has a fourth asset -- erotic capital -- that he or she can, and should, use to advance within society. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In this bold and controversial book, Hakim explores the applications and significance of erotic capital, challenging the disapproval meted out to women and men who use sex appeal to get ahead in life. Social scientists have paid little serious attention to these modes of personal empowerment, despite overwhelming evidence of their importance. In \u003ci\u003eErotic Capital\u003c\/i\u003e, Hakim marshals a trove of research to show that rather than degrading those who employ it, erotic capital represents a powerful and potentially equalizing tool -- one that we scorn only to our own detriment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Catherine Hakim\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0465027474\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780465027477\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Basic Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/06\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.50w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/18\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChronicle of Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/16\/2011 pg. 7\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2011 pg. 95","brand":"Catherine Hakim","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43987317850367,"sku":"9780465027477","price":37.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_225a2c6a-c233-4f68-a40d-45200529f5c1.jpg?v=1683288267","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/erotic-capital-catherine-hakim-9780465027477","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
