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 thoroughly revised and
updated version of the most comprehensive treatment of economic
