What are the links among industrial structure, segmentation, the
internal structure of firms, job characteristics, technology,
productivity, labor markets, and product markets? The answers,
posited by a distinguished group of sociologists and economists,
have gained resonance as the field of economic sociology has grown.
In this expanded edition, the editors and their economist
colleague, Kevin Lang, explore the theoretical interstices and
update the references. Sociologists and economists have responded
differently to work within the other discipline. For some
sociologists, the typical economic assumption of basic actors
engaged in rational action is both unrealistic and objectionable.
Other sociologists have not always agreed with everything
economists do, they have seen "rational choice" as a partially true
description of human behavior and as a starting point for
sociological theorizing. Among economists, the situation is quite
different: most have maintained their basic rational choice model
while pushing aggressively into substantive areas previously
addressed only by sociologists and political scientists.
Industries, Firms, and Jobs is a welcome reassertion of an old
tradition of interdisciplinary research. That tradition has
recently weakened, largely because of an enormous expansion of the
domain of neoclassical economics. The expansion has fed on two
scientific developments: human capital theory and contract theory.
This book is an invaluable resource for all economists,
sociologists, labor specialists, and business professionals.
