First published in 1987, Anomie attempts to write the history of the concept of anomie, to account for the fluctuations in meaning that it undergoes in the changing prism of diverse societies, and to uncover the subterranean continuities between yesterday and today.

East Asia's dynamic entrance into the global economy has provided a fruitful avenue for research in economic sociology. In this perceptive and timely volume, the authors theorize Asian capitalism and analyze the economic organization of East Asia.Presenting differing dimensions of a Weberian perspective, the authors first provide a theoretical grounding, then consider capitalism in East Asia comparatively, and finally contrast the economies of East Asia and Europe. The book shows how radically different social and cultural institutions can lead to economies that are organized in remarkably similar ways.
