Alexis de Tocqueville (1805-59) has long been recognized as a major political and social thinker as well as historian, but his writings also contain a wealth of little-known insights into economic life and its connection to the rest of society. In Tocqueville's Political Economy, Richard Swedberg shows that Tocqueville had a highly original and suggestive approach to economics--one that still has much to teach us today. Through careful readings of Tocqueville's two major books and many of his other writings, Swedberg lays bare Tocqueville's ingenious way of thinking about major economic phenomena. At the center of Democracy in America, Tocqueville produced a magnificent analysis of the emerging entrepreneurial economy that he found during his 1831-32 visit to the United States. More than two decades later, in The Old Regime and the Revolution, Tocqueville made the complementary argument that it was France's blocked economy and society that led to the Revolution of 1789. In between the publication of these great works, Tocqueville also produced many lesser-known writings on such topics as property, consumption, and moral factors in economic life. When examined together, Swedberg argues, these books and other writings constitute an interesting alternative model of economic thinking, as well as a major contribution to political economy that deserves a place in contemporary discussions about the social effects of economics.

In the social sciences today, students are taught theory by reading and analyzing the works of Karl Marx, Max Weber, and other foundational figures of the discipline. What they rarely learn, however, is how to actually theorize. The Art of Social Theory is a practical guide to doing just that. In this one-of-a-kind user's manual for social theorists, Richard Swedberg explains how theorizing occurs in what he calls the context of discovery, a process in which the researcher gathers preliminary data and thinks creatively about it using tools such as metaphor, analogy, and typology. He guides readers through each step of the theorist's art, from observation and naming to concept formation and explanation. To theorize well, you also need a sound knowledge of existing social theory. Swedberg introduces readers to the most important theories and concepts, and discusses how to go about mastering them. If you can think, you can also learn to theorize. This book shows you how. Concise and accessible, The Art of Social Theory features helpful examples throughout, and also provides practical exercises that enable readers to learn through doing"

""Early in life I had three ambitions," Joseph A. Schumpeter is said to have remarked. "I wanted to be the greatest economist in the world, the greatest horseman in Austria, and the best lover in Vienna. Well, I never became the greatest horseman in Austria." This colorful and enigmatic man did, however, become one of the truly great economists of this century. But his life was not without setbacks. Having written three important books before the age of thirty, he served as the Austrian Minister of Finance for only seven months before being ousted during the difficult period immediately after World War I, and during the 1920s he also failed in business. He spent the last two decades of his life as a popular and influential teacher at Harvard University. This major intellectual biography of Schumpeter follows his career from his immensely creative and productive youth in Austria-Hungary to the strange depressions that plagued him during his later years--especially during World War II, when he shocked his American colleagues with his violent outbursts against Roosevelt and U.S. policy toward Nazi Germany and Japan. Richard Swedberg skillfully blends narrative with a thoughtful and knowledgeable evaluation of Schumpeter's major contributions to economics, history, sociology, and political science.". "In recent years Schumpeter's emphasis on the unique role of the entrepreneur in modern economies has heightened public awareness of his theories, and his arguments are in many ways even more persuasive today than they were during his lifetime. His works are classic treatments not only of entrepreneurship but also of social change, dynamics within an economy, and sociological reasoning. The key to understanding Schumpeter's thinking, the biography argues, is to realize that he intended to create a broad-based science of economics, or Sozialokonomik. This new economics was to consist of four parts: economic theory, economic sociology, economic history, and statistics. Schumpeter's major works--especially Theory of Economic Development (1911), Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy (1942), and History of Economic Analysis (posthumously published in 1954)--all testify to this sweeping vision of economics. Swedberg lucidly explains this vision in a way that will fascinate not only economists and sociologists but also business people and other informed general readers."--BOOK JACKET.
