466 - Section on Economic Sociology Invited Session. Political Economy, Rebooted

Session Submission Type: Invited Session

Abstract

This panel features work by scholars who are using new approaches in economic sociology (and social theorizing more broadly) to revisit foundational questions in classical political economy, including the meaning of market freedom, the mutual constitution of state and market, and the relationship between legitimate and illegitimate forms of value extraction. This panel invites scholars to consider core concepts of political economy such as profit and value as moral categories, to inquire into how “economic” objects are marked as such, and to take seriously the materiality of social processes.
