Nice bed time reading
This book is based on interviews with economists and sociologist, who have tried to bridge the traditional gap between economics and sociology. Gary Becker, James Coleman, Mark Granovetter, Mancur Olson, Albert Hirschman, Jon Elster, Amartya Sen, among others, are among the interviewees. The reader will not find any remarkable insights in this book, but the interviews are generally quite nice to read. The book makes nice bedtime reading, but not much more.
