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. \u003ci\u003eThe Economic Sociology of Capitalism\u003c\/i\u003e seeks to change this, by presenting both big-picture analyses of capitalism and more focused pieces on institutions crucial to capitalism. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The contributions, which follow a foreword by economic historian Avner Greif and the editor's introduction, are by Mitchel Abolafia, James Baron and Michael Hannan, Mary C.
