Sociology and the Financial Crisis: Which
crisis, and which sociology?
 |
|
Speaker: Professor Michel Wieviorka
|
|
In 1929, sociologists did not really
study the Great Depression and
today, they publish very little on the present
economic crisis. There are two main approaches
to the crisis, one focused on recent events and
limited to the financial dimensions of the
crisis and the other focused on the past thirty
five years, viewing the financial crisis in the
more general framework of a global mutation.
Michel Wieviorka argues that sociology is not
lacking in ways and means to study the crisis in
this second perspective, providing sociologists
update categories and recognize the importance
of new objects.
