İktisadi Sosyolojiden Yeni İktisat Sosyolojisine: İktisat ve Sosyoloji İlişkisinin Değişen Yüzü

Abstract

This study aims to put forth the diversities between the economic sociology that was founded at the beginning of the last century and the New Economic Sociology that was established at the middle of 80s and is popular nowadays especially in the USA. The new economic sociology has changed the traditional relation between the economics and sociology. While the economic sociology approach that emerged at the beginning of last century has worked on a ground that may be resumed as an evaluation of the economic events from a sociological standpoint; the new economic sociology approach that emerged at 80s has the opposite content that evaluates the sociological events with an economic view point. It may be said that due to that quality, the new economic sociology approach is a typical example for the methological imperialism of the economics. This study consists of three parts. In the first part, the transformation of the relation between economics and sociology will be examined; secondly the main principles of the economic sociology based on the ideas of Weber and Durkheim will be assessed and lastly, along with a critical examination of the new economic sociology, the study will end with an evaluation of what may be done in order to reattach the bonds between the economics and the society that were already cut off.
