"A superb comprehensive tour of the fast-growing field of economic sociology. This book demonstrates how economic behavior pervades all aspects of social life, and how economic sociologists have revealed the inner workings of a wide range of social, political, and economic phenomena. It admirably serves the double goals of an introduction to the field, as well as an indispensable reference for experts." Wayne Baker, University of Michigan
"The field of economic sociology is a crackling new universe of intellectual energy. It formed out of sociological theory's insightful understanding of how institutions, culture, and networks operate and shape economy and society in ways as sure as gravity affects the movements of the planets. Readings in Economic Sociology is a must read collection of the core articles that chart out this new universe of ideas and their implications for economic action from domestic households to globalization." Brian Uzzi, Northwestern University
