Yes, but most of those books aren’t written by social scientists. Just as most of what is learned at business school is not the most important thing for running a business most of what scholars looking for the praise of other scholars publish is of limited use to businesspeople. Businesspeople have more to learn from their own than from people in a completely different sector, just as artists like painters and sculptors learn more from their own than art historians and theorists. Much of academia is masturbatory, of no use or interest to people outside the specific sub field of academia it comes from, and the further divorced a field is from use by or contact with practitioners or consumer demand the greater the proportion.
