Advancing Socio-Economics An Institutionalist

This landmark volume takes a first step towards imposing order on the increasingly diverse field of socio-economics by embedding the various disciplines and sub-disciplines in a common core. The distinguished contributors in this volume show how institutions, governance arrangements, societal sectors, organizations, individual actors, and innovativeness are intertwined and, ultimately, how individuals and firms have a high degree of autonomy.

J. Rogers Hollingsworth is professor of sociology and history at the University of Wisconsin. Karl H. Muller is head of WISDOM-Research, Austria's social science infrastructure center on data archiving and method-development. Ellen Jane Hollingsworth is a member of the University of Wisconsin Department of Sociology.
