Reviews
"This volume from leading scholars in economic sociology and science and technology studies offers a new way of linking economics to science and technology studies via materiality. By putting materiality, especially technology, back into the economy, the authors take both fields in a new direction. We gain path-breaking insights into the distributed agency at work in markets, infrastructure, and the uses of technology." -Richard Rottenburg, Martin Luther University

Synopsis
Understanding the intersection of economic sociology and science and technology studies through the idea of materiality., Understanding the intersection of economic sociology and science and technology studies through the idea of materiality. Although social scientists generally agree that technology plays a key role in the economy, economics and technology have yet to be brought together into a coherent framework that is both analytically interesting and empirically oriented. This book draws on the tools of science and technology studies and economic sociology to reconceptualize the intersection of economy and technology, suggesting materiality--the idea that social existence involves not only actors and social relations but also objects--as the theoretical point of convergence. The contributors take up general concerns, such as individual agency in a network economy and the materiality of the household in economic history, as well as specific financial technologies such as the stock ticker, the trading room, and the telephone. Forms of infrastructure--accounting, global configurations of trading and information technologies, and patent law--are examined. Case studies of the impact of the Internet and information technology on consumption (e-commerce), the reputation economy (the rise of online reviews of products), and organizational settings (outsourcing of an IT system) round off this collection of essays.
