In this major new collection, leading experts in the field of
economic sociology combine to provide a critical overview of the
latest approaches to the study of economics in the social sciences.
Traditionally social scientists have taken one of two approaches
towards the economy, either emphasizing the rationality of economic
actors and the objective reality of market forces or alternatively
rejecting these very notions as abstractions which do violence to
the embeddedness of economic relations in social and cultural life.
In contrast, The Technological Economy argues for a new
understanding of the relationship between the economy and culture.
In developing its critical analysis of the new economic sociology,
this book is exceptional in adopting cultural approaches to the
economy, whilst taking the role of economics in the formation of
markets seriously.
