Famous Edward C. Banfield Quotations
Edward C. Banfield (1916-1999) was a distinguished political scientist, best known as the author of The Moral Basis of a Backward Society (1958), and The Unheavenly City (1970)
Every political
system
is an
accumulation
of habits, customs, prejudices, and principles that
have
survived a long
process
of
trial
and
error
and of ceaseless
response
to changing
circumstances
. If the
system
works
well
on the whole, it is a lucky
accident
-- the luckiest, indeed, that can befall a
society
.
