Economic sociology is the study of the social cause and effect of various economic phenomena. The field can be broadly divided into a classical period and a contemporary one, known as "New economic sociology". The classical period was concerned particularly with modernity and its constituent aspects, including rationalisation, secularisation, urbanisation, and social stratification.

The paper also considers the status of the multiple versions of the Weber Thesis in post-Weberian and contemporary sociology and related disciplines like economics and history.

Concurrently, The Art of Social Theory is also erudite and rich with historical allusion. Mark Granovetter, Thomas C. Schelling, Frank Dobbin and Isaac Ariail Reed enthusiastically endorse this project, as much as we do.

The renowned economist Joseph A. Schumpeter (1883-1950) made seminal contributions not only to economic theory but also to sociology and economic history. His work is now attracting wide attention among sociologists, as well as experiencing a remarkable revival among economists. This anthology, which serves as an excellent introduction to Schumpeter, emphasizes his broad socio-economic vision and his attempt to analyze economic reality from several different perspectives. An ambitious introductory essay by Richard Swedberg uses many new sources to enhance our understanding of Schumpeter's life and work and to help analyze his fascinating character. This essay stresses Schumpeter's ability to draw on several social sciences in his study of capitalism.

Some of the articles in the anthology are published for the first time. The most important of these are Schumpeter's Lowell Lectures from 1941, "An Economic Interpretation of Our Time." Also included is the transcript of his lecture "Can Capitalism Survive?" (1936) and the high-spirited debate that followed. The anthology contains many of Schumpeter's classical sociological articles, such as his essays on the tax state, imperialism, and social classes. And, finally, there are lesser known articles on the future of private enterprise, on the concept of rationality in the social sciences, and on the work of Max Weber, with whom Schumpeter collaborated on several occasions.

I went to Vietnam with the idea that the global reach of capitalism might even be found in something translated from German works by authors who cane to the United States as scholars in the big crisis of my century. Schumpeter was making the roots of imperialism as coherent as words could tell. Patriotism is boosted upon a people who need a strategy to make them work. I quote:

All other appeals are rooted in interests
that must be grasped by reason. This one
alone arouses the dark powers of the
subconscious, calls into play instincts
that carry over the life habits of the
dim past. Driven out everywhere else,
the irrational seeks refuge in nationalism--
the irrational consists of belligerence, the
need to hate, a goodly quota of inchoate
idealism, the most naïve (and hence also
the most unrestrained) egotism. (p. 147).

After finishing this book, I have a renewed respect for Joseph Schumpeter and desire to read more of his works. The editor did a wonderful job describing JAS's life in the beginning of the book and it simply was a clean and insightful biography. The editor picked some great lectures, excerpts and reviews from JAS that rounded off this nice biography. This shouldn't be your first choice to learn about JAS because it's simply not an easy read. I think the editor probably assumes you've read Schumpeter before.In summary, this book and JAS will stretch your mind but that's why we read these types of books right? Enjoy!!!
