{"product_id":"the-gift-of-generations-akiko-hashimoto-9780521555203","title":"The Gift of Generations: Japanese and American Perspectives on Aging and the Social Contract","description":"The Gift of Generations is a comparative study of aging and the social contract in Japan and the United States. By using original, systematically comparable data collected in these countries, the book explores the different cultural definitions of vulnerability and giving, and the ways they shape and constrain the social strategies of routinizing helping arrangements. The book succeeds in interweaving the theory and practice of the social contract by developing the concept of symbolic equity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Akiko Hashimoto\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521555205\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521555203\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/13\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.37h x 5.47w x 0.67d","brand":"Akiko Hashimoto","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48871540523263,"sku":"9780521555203","price":51.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-gift-of-generations-akiko-hashimoto-9780521555203","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
