New Developments in Economic Sociology
Richard Swedberg
(Cheltenham: Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd., 2005)

Economic sociology has gone through an explosive development, both in the United States and in Europe, in recent years. These new developments are well represented in this work. Forty-two articles, dating from 1989 to 2003, by key economic sociologists, such as P. Aspers, P. Bourdieu, B. Carruthers, F. Dobbin, N. Fligstein, M. Granovetter, K. Knorr Cetina, D. McKenzie, H. White, V. Zelizer, have been included as well as studies by members of a new and rising generation.

The topics that are covered include several classical ones, which modern economic sociologists have worked on for a long time, such as firms, markets, networks and the economics/sociology interface. During the last few years several studies have also appeared which deal with new areas, such as finance, law and economics, and entrepreneurship. The reader will finally also be able to follow recent advances in the understanding of the classics in economic sociology, including Weber, Schumpeter and Polanyi. The result is a colourful and unorthodox two volume collection which will be of interest to scholars and researchers alike.

This book is volume 186 in the "The International Library of Critical Writings in Economics series".
