384 - Section on Economic Sociology Paper Session. Social Economies of Households
Mon, August 24, 10:30am to 12:10pm, TBASession Submission Type: Paper Session
Abstract
New economic sociology has for the most part downplayed the household as an object of inquiry, focusing instead on profit-making, the firm, and the market. This panel features papers across a wide spectrum of methodological approaches that treat the household as an important site of production, consumption, finance and distribution of resources, and apply the tools of economic sociology to better understand household economies as well as their relationship to market forces.
