"[The Sociology of Economic Life] will fortify the reader to join the rapidly moving fronts of economic sociology, for which Swedberg is perhaps the leading observer and Granovetter the leading essayist. This book reaches the beginning student as easily as a specialist." -Harrison White, Columbia University [on the Second Edition] --
"The isolated individual agent of standard economic theory is in real life embedded in a set of social relations which must modify and direct the purely market interactions. This reader, by drawing together a large body of soundly researched material, can be useful in enriching our analysis of economic instritutions and their workings." -Kenneth J. Arrow, Stanford University [on the first Edition] --
In recent years, sociologists have taken up a fruitful examination of institutions such as capital, labor, and product markets; industrial organization; and stock exchanges. Compared to earlier traditions of economic sociology, recent work shows more interest in phenomena usually studied esclusively by economists while it challenges the adequacy of the neoclassical model. --
In the Sociology of Economic Life, editors Mark Granovetter and Richard Swedberg incorporate classic and contemporary readings in economic sociology and related disciplines to provide students with a broad understanding of the many dimensions of economic life. A thorough and accessible intoroduction by the editors traces the history of thought in the field and assesses recent advances and future trends. The third edition is substantially revised and updated with eight new chapters, including original contributions from some of the field's leading scholars that explain cuttingedge research and present the essential scholarship in the field. --Book Jacket.
