'If you want to investigate the literary beginnings of the anthropological insights and theories in Girard's books <i>The Scapegoat</i> and <i>Violence and the Sacred</i>, here is a source published in the early 1960s. <i>To Double Business Bound</i> extends the theme of ''mimetic desire'' -- put simply, desiring an object because someone else desires an object -- beyond the bounds of literary criticism and proposes it as a useful tool for understanding the orders and disorders of societies.
