Includes bibliographical references and index.
Summary:
"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. 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
Erotic
Capital
, 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".
