This innovative book explores what sociologists gain by treating temporality seriously, what we learn from placing social relations and events in historical context. In a series of chapters, readers will see how historical sociologists have addressed the origins of capitalism, revolutions and social movements, empires and states, inequality, gender and culture. The goal is not to present a comprehensive history of historical sociology; rather, readers will encounter analyses of exemplary works and see how authors engaged past debates and their contemporaries in sociology, history and other disciplines to advance our understanding of how societies are created and remade across time."--Pub. desc. "Sociology began as a historical discipline, created by Marx, Weber and others, to explain the emergence and consequences of rational, capitalist society. Today, the best historical sociology combines precision in theory-construction with the careful selection of appropriate methodologies to address ongoing debates across a range of subfields.

Au cours de la dernière décennie, le mot « capitalisme » a fait un retour remarqué dans le débat politique et dans la recherche. Ce livre s'appuie sur les travaux les plus récents en histoire et en sociologie économiques pour raconter les trois âges du capitalisme, de la fin du XVIIe siècle à nos jours. Ce récit permet de répondre à des questions concrètes et variées : comment la satisfaction des actionnaires est-elle devenue une valeur dominante ? L'ubérisation est-elle un retour au XIXe siècle ? En quoi le commerce d'esclaves a-t-il contribué à la naissance du capitalisme ? Une finance chrétienne ou musulmane est-elle possible ? Qui a conquis les droits associés au salariat, et comment ? On apprend aussi qu'il n'y a pas vraiment eu de « révolution industrielle », que les dilemmes des mouvements de consommation engagée vers 1900 ressemblaient à ceux d'aujourd'hui, ou encore en quoi la crise financière de 2008 diffère de celle de 1929.
