Author: Max Weber Publisher: Princeton University Press ISBN: 0691218161 Category : Business & Economics Languages : en Pages : 521
Book Description
The writings of Max Weber (1864-1920) contain one of the most fascinating and sophisticated attempts ever made to create an economic sociology. Economic sociologist and Weber scholar Richard Swedberg has selected the most important of Weber's enormous body of writings on the topic, making these available for the first time in a single volume. The central themes around which the anthology is organized are modern capitalism and its relationships to politics, to law, and to culture and religion; a special section is devoted to theoretical aspects of economic sociology. Swedberg provides a valuable introduction illuminating biographical and intellectual dimensions of Weber's work in economic sociology, as well as a glossary defining key concepts in Weber's work in the field and a bibliographical guide to this corpus. Weber's substantive views on economic sociology are represented in this volume through crucial excerpts from works such as his General Economic History and The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism, but the reader can follow his attempt to construct a conceptual foundation for economic sociology in Economy and Society as well. Also included is Weber's celebrated inaugural lecture, "The Freiburg Address," along with a number of central but hitherto inaccessible writings. Though written nearly a century ago, Weber's work has the quality of a true classic, and the reader will find many ideas in his writings on economic topics that remain applicable in today's world. These include Weber's discussion of what is now called social capital, his analysis of the institutions needed for a well-functioning capitalist economy, and his more general attempt to introduce social structure into economic analysis. As this volume demonstrates, what basically motivated Weber to work with economic sociology was a realization shared by many economists and sociologists today: that the analysis of economic phenomena must include an understanding of the social dimension. Guided by volume editor Swedberg, the reader of this anthology discovers the significance and the enduring relevance of Weber's contribution to economic sociology.

Book Description
This thesis consists of four self-contained papers within political economy and economic sociology. The first paper studies how the 2015 refugee wave impacted the vote share of the anti-immigration Sweden Democrats (SD) during the 2018 Swedish parliamentary elections. I find that while there is an overall positive effect of immigration on the SD votes, the magnitude of the effect differs considerably depending on pre-influx municipal characteristics.??In the second paper, I study how releases of radioactive fallout from the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear accident affected environmentalist voting in subsequent elections in Sweden. The results show that in municipalities affected by fallout, green voting increased. The Chernobyl premium om the green vote remained for around one decade after the accident. Detailed-individual level survey data suggests that opposition to nuclear power increased in affected areas after the accident.??The third paper examines how implementing blended learning at university affects grade outcomes when compared to online and campus teaching. The results show that female students with affluent parents were the relative winners of blended learning, both compared to other groups who were subject to blended learning, but also compared to their own performance when all teaching is on campus. Survey data suggests that this group of students have broader social networks, which facilitates communication with peers and improves grades.??In the fourth paper, I analyze how the academic performance of university students is affected by their own and their peers' socioeconomic status and beauty. The results suggest that a student's own socioeconomic status and beauty affect grades positively, and that these traits in peers also have a positive impact on grades. For the peer effects, I provide evidence for both a direct spillover channel, and for an indirect channel according to which peer beauty improves well-being among students.

Book Description
This collection of recent essays by the influential sociologist Herbert J. Gans brings together the many themes of Gans’s wide-ranging career to make the case for a policy-oriented vision for sociology. Sociology and Social Policy explicates and helps solve social problems by presenting a range of studies on what people, institutions, and social structures do with, for, and against one another. These works from across Gans’s areas of interest—the city, poverty, ethnicity, employment and political economy, and the relationship between race and class—together make a powerful call to action for the field of sociology.

Author: Joseph A. Schumpeter Publisher: Princeton University Press ISBN: 0691003831 Category : Biography & Autobiography Languages : en Pages : 503
Book Description
Joseph Schumpeter remains a highly enigmatic theorist in the history of modern economics. His contributions, however, sought unity among theoretical economics, economic sociology, history, and statistics during a time when emphasis on such matters has been decidedly losing ground within the academic profession on both sides of the Atlantic. This anthology is a timely response to the reigning orthodoxy, expecially in view of renewed interest in political economy since the 1970s. It is a superb collection of Schumpeter's essays, some of which are printed in their entirety for the first time, such as "An Economic Interpretation of Our Time," an unpublished essay which was delivered as a Lowell Lecture in 1941. The informative introduction covers the intellectual as well as personal dimensions of Schumpeter, both during his formative European period and in his fully developed but somewhat unhappy American years.
