Economic sociology : an introduction

Economic sociology re-emerged in the 1980s as a vibrant subfield confronting economic theory and important economic issues. However, work in this field is scattered and inaccessible to the novice. This book addresses this problem and presents the clearest, most comprehensive and wide-ranging account of economic sociology to date. In so doing, Hass makes the insights, claims, and logic of economic sociology accessible to students while exposing the realities of today`s complex economic world and the challenges of studying economies and societies." "Incorporating illustrations, case studies, a glossary of key terms and concepts, chapter notes, and a comprehensive bibliography of key readings, this student-friendly text also puts forward suggestions for further project work by showing the reader areas that require further investigation. Broad in scope, interactive and accessible, this book is a key resource for students of economics, sociology and political economy--BOOK JACKET.
