Looking in the French Mirror
Abstract
In this brief note I highlight three key models of relationship between economics and new economic sociology, useful to make sense of Mark Granovetter’s introduction to the French edition of his essays. I also argue that these models are useful to interpret both the evolution and the diversity of New Economic Sociology and that they require a focus on social networks, albeit with a different emphasis.
