- Summary:
- Why is economic analysis too important and too complex to be left to economists alone? "Economy and Society" is a major landmark in the recent emergence of economic sociology. Robert Holton provides a major new synthesis of social scientific thinking on the interrelationship between economy and society. He argues for the importance of politics and culture to the functioning of the economy and draws on the strengths, but avoids the weaknesses of economic liberalism and political economy.
