The Economic Sociology of Capitalism by Victor Nee
Represents a major step forward in the use of economic sociology to illuminate the nature and workings of capitalism amid the far-reaching changes of the contemporary era of global capitalism. This work addresses core issues and problems in the new study of capitalism; and considers a variety of topics concerning America.
"By proposing a shift of focus for economic sociology in an important and so far underinvestigated realm, this book represents a significant advancement in the further development of the fieldWhat has been underemphasized in the new economic sociology, the editors rightly claim, is a more macro-oriented investigation of the operation of capitalism as an economic and social system. The high quality contributions in The Economic Sociology of Capitalism address concerns that have stood at the center of classical works in economic sociology by Weber, Durkheim, Polanyi, and Schumpeter which are still important and will find more attention through this volume." - Jens Beckert, Georg-August-Universitat Gottingen, author of Beyond the Market"
