This book explores the application of field theory (patterns of
interaction) to Russian economic history, and how social and
political fields mediate the influences of institutions,
structures, discourses and ideologies in the creation and
dissemination of economic thinking, theory and practice. Using
focused cases on Russia's economy from the mid-nineteenth century
to the present, Hass and co-authors expand the empirical basis of
field studies to provide new material on Russian economic history.
The cases are divided into two complementary halves: i) The role of
fields of institutions, discourses, and structures in the
development of Russian economic thought, especially economic
theories and discourses; and ii) The role of fields in the real
adoption and implementation of policies in Soviet and Russian
economic history. With developed discussion of fields and field
theory, this book moves beyond sociology to demonstrate to other
disciplines the relation of fields and field theory to other
frameworks and methodological considerations for field analysis, as
well as providing new empirical insights and narratives not as
well-known abroad.

Economic Sociology provides the clearest and most comprehensive
account of the promises of economic sociology. It shows how
economies are more than supply-and-demand curves, individual profit
motives, and efficient performance: they are forms of power and
structure, grounded in institutions and culture. What is
calculated, how, and why? Are profit and efficiency always so
central to economic structures and outcomes? What shapes change and
reproduction in economic practices and policies? How have classes
and states, using power and institutions, created and continue to
shape the economic world we live in? This second edition presents a
critical and sophisticated, yet approachable analysis of economic
behavior and phenomena. After describing key concepts and logics of
economic sociology and of economic sociology (its eternal cousin
and competitor), Hass turns the sociologist's analytic eye to the
heart of economic practices comparing how they work in the United
States, Europe, East Asia, Latin America, and post-socialist Russia
and China. The volume addresses crucially important economic issues
that touch our well-being and justice: the rise and structuring of
capitalism; relations between states and economies; economic
policies; economies and inequality; and organizations and
corporations. Causes and consequences of globalization and the
Great Recession are laid out for the reader. With economics and
economic sociology placed side-by-side in this journey of how
economies operate in the past and present, the reader gets
different perspectives on economic reality. Power and culture,
institutions and fields, classes and corporations interact on this
historical and global stage. Written in a clear and direct style,
this textbook will appeal to students and scholars in economic
sociology, sociology of work, economics, social policy, political
economy and comparative sociology
