Market Reenchantment and its Theoretical Significance

Authors

  • Carlo Tognato Author Universidad de La Sabana

Abstract

The new economic sociology has traditionally viewed the market as a deculturalized and desocialized space. Despite the most recent efforts to recover the cultural and non-instrumental dimension of
the market, scholars seldom have recognized that cultural reenchantment of the market often takes a religious form. The neo-Durkheimian tradition within contemporary sociological theory can help to take stock of that phenomenon, with important heuristic consequences for the development of economic sociology.
