Caston, Richard (1998), Life in a Business-Oriented Society: A Sociological Perspective, Boston: Allyn & Bacon.
The book is intended as a reader for college-students in the fields of sociology of business, and as a complementary book in economic sociology. The general idea is that business and business life is a central part ofhuman life, because it affects man. To understand man, it is argued, one must know how businesses function etc. It is the relations between the business sector and other sectors in society that are pivotal in the book.

Swedberg, Richard (1997), New Economic Sociology: What has Been Accomplished, What is Ahead?,' Acta Sociologica, 40:161-182.
The author summarizes what New Economic Sociology' has accomplished so far. It is argued that two concepts are central for what hitherto has been produced in the field: embeddedness' and social construction' of reality.' Though a lot has been done, especially at the middle range' level, far more lays ahead. It is important, Swedberg says, that sociologist at large must encourage work in the field, and that more people and resources are allocated to the field.

Tilman, Rick (1997), Thorstein Veblen (1857-1929): Sociologus Oeconomicus,' International Sociology, 12,1:93-101.
In this article a short outline of Veblen's sociologically flavored economic approach is presented, but Veblen's character is a topic that is not left out of the picture. Thus, Tilman discusses the books written by Veblen, stress being laid on how he deviated from mainstream economics. Both scientific and normative differences are considered. The analysis leads the author to conclude that Veblen has influenced latergenerations of economists, though not all of the economists approve his ideas.

Collins, Randall (1997), An Asian Route to Capitalism: Religious Economy and the Origins of Self-Transforming Growth in Japan,' American Sociological Review, 62, December:843-865.
Collins argues, using a neo-Weberian model, that capitalism breakthrough not only occurred in Europe. The initial breakout from agrarian-coercive obstacles took place within the enclave of religious organizations, with monasteries acting as the first entrepreneurs. The model is illustrated by the case of Buddhism in the late medieval Japan.

Fligstein, Neil (1997), Markets, Politics, and Globalization, Uppsala: Acta Universitatis Uppsaliensis, Studia Oeconomiae Negotiorum 42.
The author argues that the economy is less globalized that sometimes is argued. This must be viewed from Fligstein's perspective manifested by the definition of a global market, which is: ...a situation where there are a set of dominant firms who take one another into account in their behavior.' A reason why we have not yet seen convergence between firms, it is argued, is that state building and market building are two parallel processes. This means we can observe local solutions, rules and laws, which must be understood in the light of the power relation at that local.
