Der Band fasst die neueren Publikationen sowie einige Originalbeiträge des Autors zur Arbeits- und Wirtschaftssoziologie zusammen, in denen eine gesellschaftstheoretische Interpretation kapitalistischer Dynamik entwickelt wird. Zentrale Themen sind die Wahlverwandtschaft zwischen Kapitalismus und Religion und der daraus abgeleitete dynamische Ansatz der Analyse wirtschaftlicher Institutionen. Darüber hinaus geht es darum, diesen Ansatz für die Erklärung aktueller Transformationsprozesse der Arbeitswelt und der Finanzmärkte fruchtbar zu machen.

This book offers a sociological analysis of globalised capitalist markets, advancing the notion of 'disembedded markets' to challenge the idea of 'social embeddedness' common in economic sociology. Avoiding an exclusive focus on institutions, networks and trust relationships surrounding markets, the author concentrates on private property as the key institution of markets, in order to emphasise the historical origins of modern capitalism the free market narrative, and develop a socio-historical analysis of the disembedding process together with an account of the built-in contradictions and limits of market universalisation. Through an analysis of their encompassing character, this volume demonstrates that disembedded markets do not fit standard theoretical accounts of sociality - a problem taken up not only by Karl Marx, but also by Friedrich August von Hayek and Niklas Luhmann - and questions the attempts of the emerging approach of 'economic theology' to draw parallels between the practices that arise from disembedded markets and from forms of religious experience and ritual. A rigorous examination of the phenomenon of disembedded markets and the claims to which they give rise concerning the equivalences between religion and capitalism, this book will appeal to scholars of sociology and economics with interests in capitalism, social theory, and global markets.
