"The Handbook of Economic Sociology, Second Edition" is the most
comprehensive and up-to-date treatment of economic sociology
available. The first edition, copublished in 1994 by Princeton
University Press and the Russell Sage Foundation as a synthesis of
the burgeoning field of economic sociology, soon established itself
as the definitive presentation of the field, and has been widely
read, reviewed, and adopted. Since then, the field of economic
sociology has continued to grow by leaps and bounds and to move
into new theoretical and empirical territory.
The second edition, while being as all-embracing in its
coverage as the first edition, represents a wholesale revamping.
Neil Smelser and Richard Swedberg have kept the main overall
framework intact, but nearly two-thirds of the chapters are new or
have new authors. As in the first edition, they bring together
leading sociologists as well as representatives of other social
sciences. But the thirty chapters of this volume incorporate many
substantial thematic changes and new lines of research--for
example, more focus on international and global concerns, chapters
on institutional analysis, the transition from socialist economies,
organization and networks, and the economic sociology of the
ancient world. "The Handbook of Economic Sociology, Second Edition"
is the definitive resource on what continues to be one of the
leading edges of sociology and one of its most important
interdisciplinary adventures. It is a must read for all faculty,
graduate students, and undergraduates doing work in the field.A
