Economic Sociology: State, Market, and Society in Modern Capitalism

Book Description

This book systematically reconstructs the origins and new advances in economic sociology. By presenting both classical and contemporary theory and research, this book identifies and describes the continuity between past and present, and the move from economics to economic sociology.Economic Sociology begins with the classic writings by Simmel, Sombart, Weber, Durkheim, Veblen, Polanyi, and Schempeter, and highlights how these writings contributed to developing a theory of economic action as socially oriented action. The book then examines the social consequences of capitalism up to the present, including discussions about modernization and the welfare state.The volume is an historical introduction that illustrates how economic sociology has contributed to the understanding of the origins and characteristics of capitalism in the West, liberal capitalism, and the more highly regulated and organized capitalism which has come into being since the thirties.Economic Sociology presents the methodology and research themes accessibly, and each part is organized and presented so that it may be read as a single unit, according to students' specific needs. This is an excellent introduction to the field.

Touched by an angel.......2000-02-08

Comprehensive, direct, resourceful.

Two thumbs up for anyone looking to start or grow their business.

Best on the topic, and I have read many........1999-06-25

I have read a lot of business books and this one gave the best insite into the topic. Very easy to skim and get what you need. If I would have stated with this one I could have saved myself a lot of time.

Comprehensive and well-written.......1998-12-28

As a "student" of venture capital and entrepreneurship, I was delighted to discover this book. It was the book's title that first caught my attention. And, I was not disappointed. The author covers the subject of alternate financing in detail; IPOs, angel investors, venture capital, overseas financing and incubators. Often, banks are unwilling and/or incapable of understanding the unique requirements of a budding entrpreneur's financial needs; for example, in the software industry, most entrepreneurs can only offer intellectual property as collateral; this does not fit well with a bank's traditional mode of collateral ("If I cannot see it or touch it, it does not exist"). In this regard, the author offers well-defined chapters on helping borrowers prepare well for the reality (chapters 7, 8 and 9 - Valuing Your Business, Presenting Financials and Preparing Business Plans, respectively). One note of discord - while it is impossible to research and include every single source of information, the author should have included some of the well-established and well-known sources, in the appendices. Glaring omissions in Appendix A include The IndUS Entrepreneurs, a leading VC Club in Silicon Valley; Appendix B should have included the well- established entrepreneurship programs at Stanford University and University of Washington. Finally, I am glad that the book's retail price is below $25 (and often available at a disount); this tremendously benefits entrepreneurs and those individuals researhcing alternate sources of funding, for their business ventures.

Book Description

The prospects of Internet growth in Brazil have attracted a number of players. Two years ago, there were an estimated 1,200 ISPs in Brazil. This number is decreasing significantly, as consolidation takes place (see Exhibit 1). We believe that the competitive dynamic in Brazil's Internet market is far from defined and that a great deal of reorganization is still ahead. Yet competition will intensify, as well-capitalized global and Pan-American players get ready to mark their territories. This is the second of a two-part Yankee Group Report addressing the Brazilian Internet market. In Part 1, we addressed the major factors shaping the nature of Brazil's Internet industry. Here, we will look at the main players this market has attracted, their strategy for Brazil, their strengths and weaknesses, and acquisition trends in the near future.
