That’s real and so truthful 🙂 and the fact that this “Acknowledgments” written by Talcott Parsons‘ grandson –  Jotham Parsons, makes this even more amusing…

“This enumeration of my indebtedness, together with much else that I have doubtless omitted, is more than sufficient to account for any virtues this study may possess. For the faults that nevertheless remain, I blame society.”  (Parsons 2004: x)
