If I may phrase this more selfishly (not that I'll ever be a great anything), if one is interested in the material organization of society, but not in the Freakonomics or advanced micro methodologies, where should one be looking? I'm quickly discovering that my double lack of aptitude in both foreign languages and math beyond calculus is, uh, a bit constricting.
