This course aims at reinforcing and adding to the insights in "Introduction to Economic Sociology" (taught in the fall). The course begins with the theoretical foundation of economic sociology (classical and modern). The contributions by Max Weber, Joseph Schumpeter, Mark Granovetter and others will be presented. This segment is followed by lectures on different types of economic organization, from capitalism and the global economy to the firm and entrepreneurship. Topics such as politics and the economy, law and the economy, culture and the economy, and gender and the economy will then be discussed.  Normative aspects of economic sociology are also on the agenda.
