Editorial Reviews

Review

This excellent volume is a compilation of some of the best writing in this field over the past decade, including basic works like Oliver Williamson's transaction cost theory of the firm, and [is] a helpful comparison of economic sociology to mainstream economics (Francis Fukuyama Foreign Affairs )

A unique and invaluable survey of this rapidly developing field of scholarship. (Choice ) --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Review

This is the first comprehensive theoretical and empirical account of the burgeoning field of economic sociology. The scholarship is consistently strong. . . . The book will be greeted warmly and read by serious scholars throughout the social sciences. (Robert K. Merton ) --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

This review is from: The Handbook of Economic Sociology (Paperback)

This is an excellent handbook. Both the organization of the book and the contents of each chapter provide a precise and complete state-of the-art of economic sociology.
