News and current affairs

Merton's prime example was the Great Depression.

In fact, 50 years ago, in his classic book Social Theory and Social Structure, the late sociologist Robert K. Merton described the results of a case study of influential people in a typical American town, Rovere, New Jersey.

Merton discovered a strong pattern.

Merton did not say that the cosmopolitan influentials were influential outside Rovere - apparently none of them was.

When Merton engaged people in conversation, any topic would remind the cosmopolitan influentials of the world at large, while local influentials were reminded of things in their own town.

Cosmopolitan influentials, Merton said, tended to hang their success on their general knowledge, whereas locals relied on their friendships and connections.

The local influentials, Merton discovered, spoke affectionately of their town, as if it were a unique and special place, and often said they would never leave.

What was true in Merton's day is becoming even more starkly true in today's globalized economy.
