Reviews

'A comprehensive and stimulating guide, written by some of the best known scholars in the field, that shows how the theoretical and empirical findings of economic sociology correspond and complement those of economics, as a sort of countermelody that enriches our knowledge of the relationships between economy and society.' -- Alberto Martinelli, Universita degli studi di Milano, Italy and Former President of the International Social Science Council, France 'This volume offers a fresh look at central contemporary economic issues. The contributors go beyond sociology and fruitfully bring in both historical and current perspectives from adjacent disciplines to create an exciting scientific composition.' -- Patrik Aspers, University of St. Gallen, Switzerland
