disciplines, and also everyone who is interested in questions of socio-economic

Richard (1998), Life in a Business-Oriented Society: A Sociological Perspective, Boston:
Allyn & Bacon.
The book is intended as a reader for college-students in the fields of sociology of
business, and as a complementary book in economic sociology. The general idea is that
business and business life is a central part ofhuman life, because it affects man. To
understand man, it is argued, one must know how businesses function etc. It is the
relations between the business sector and other sectors in society that are pivotal in the
book.
Swedberg, Richard (1997), New Economic Sociology: What has Been
Accomplished, What is Ahead?,' Acta Sociologica, 40:161-182.
The author summarizes what New Economic Sociology' has accomplished so far. It is argued
that two concepts are central for what hitherto has been produced in the field:
embeddedness' and social construction' of reality.' Though a lot has been done, especially
at the middle range' level, far more lays ahead. It is important, Swedberg says, that
sociologist at large must encourage work in the field, and that more people and resources
are allocated to the field.

Tilman, Rick (1997), Thorstein Veblen (1857-1929): Sociologus Oeconomicus,' International
Sociology, 12,1:93-101.
In this article a short outline of Veblen's sociologically flavored economic approach is
presented, but Veblen's character is a topic that is not left out of the picture. Thus,
Tilman discusses the books written by Veblen, stress being laid on how he deviated from
mainstream economics. Both scientific and normative differences are considered. The
analysis leads the author to conclude that Veblen has influenced latergenerations of
economists, though not all of the economists approve his ideas.

Collins argues, using a neo-Weberian model, that capitalism breakthrough not only occurred
in Europe. The initial breakout from agrarian-coercive obstacles took place within the
enclave of religious organizations, with monasteries acting as the first entrepreneurs.
The model is illustrated by the case of Buddhism in the late medieval Japan.

The author argues that the economy is less globalized that sometimes is argued. This must
be viewed from Fligstein's perspective manifested by the definition of a global market,
which is: ...a situation where there are a set of dominant firms who take one another into
account in their behavior.' A reason why we have not yet seen convergence between firms,
it is argued, is that state building and market building are two parallel processes. This
means we can observe local solutions, rules and laws, which must be understood in the
light of the power relation at that local.
Lie, John (1997), Sociology of Markets,' Annual Review of Sociology,
23:241-260.
The article is a survey of different schools of thought that have studied markets. Beside
the sociological school, Lie discusses various schools in economics, economic
anthropology, cultural sociology, the embeddedness approach, and new political economy.
The role of power in economic versus sociological approaches is briefly discussed. About
250 references are included.

the ideas of Adam Smith and Max Weber.

The book is a presentation of an empirical study by four economists of the theories of
price stickiness used in economics, for example the cost of changing prices argument.
Thus, the book presents information how firms actually behave in this regard. It is, for
example, shown that prices do not increase more easily than they decrease. The book may
therefore be viewed as study of a field of money policy.
