Market and Community : The Bases of Social Order, Revolution, and Relegitimation, Paperback / softback Book

Market and Community : The Bases of Social Order, Revolution, and Relegitimation Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Social order results from a complex interaction of individual actions, institutional structures, and cultural norms.

But just how do they relate to one another, and is any one factor predominant?

The answers that social science has provided reflect the competing paradigms of the rationalist, structuralist, and culturalist approaches. In this innovative book, two prominent social scientists coming from competing research traditions attempt to chart a course between them, drawing on their respective strengths to present a new model based on a classificatory scheme of market/community/contract/hierarchy.

The discussion, which includes a closing dialogue between the authors, covers both methodological and empirical issues, with a review of classic theories of revolution and an analysis of the process of relegitimation following the French Revolution and the Dutch Revolt against the Hapsburgs.
