Economics and Sociology

by Adolf Löwe

Overview

Arguing that the disciplines of economics and sociology are inter-related and vitally important to each other, this book discusses major issues such as the effects of urbanization, population growth, and the growth of various forms of nationalism from both economic and socio-political viewpoints. In addition the significance and limits of pure economics are examined, as are the sociological factors in modern economic theory, as well as power and economic law.

Sozialwissenschaft und Sozialpolitik, vol. 65, Nr. 2, pp. 225-50) and my paper, “über den Sinn und die Grenzen verstehender Nationalökonomie” (Weltwirtschaftliches Archiv., vol. 36, Nr. 2, pp. 149-62).; Chapter 4 The “Society of Exchange”; Chapter 5 The Sociological Factor in Modern Economic Theory; Chapter 6 Economics and The Social Trend of Capitalism; Chapter 7 Power and Economic Law; Chapter 8 Some Evident Conclusions;
