This book represents a major step forward in the use of economic sociology to illuminate
the nature and workings of capitalism amid the far-reaching changes of the contemporary
era of global capitalism. For the past twenty years economic sociologists have focused
on mesa-level phenomena of networks, but they have done relatively little to analyze
capitalism as an overall system or to show how such phenomena emerge from and shape
the dynamics of capitalism. The book, which includes sixteen chapters by leading scholars in economic sociology,
is organized around three broad themes. The first section addresses core issues and
problems in the new study of capitalism; the second considers a variety of topics
concerning America, the leading capitalist economy of the world; and the third focuses
attention on the question of convergence stemming from the global transformation
of capitalism and the challenge of explaining institutional change.
