=================== HES POSTING ==================== ANNOUNCEMENT The American Journal of Economics and Sociology will publish a gala 1999 issue on the theme "Economic Sociology: A Friendly Merger or Hostile Takeover?" Anyone wishing to submit an article should send me a 100 word abstract. As editor of the AJES, I have a special interest in actual explanations of social phenomena that straddle both disciplines. Matters involving culture, signalling, trust, reputations, networking, etc., are grist for the mills of practicing economic sociologists or should I say practicing sociological economists? While good methodological pieces are always of interest, I prefer to actual do economic sociology by analyzing the mechanisms at work that serve to embed economic exchanges in the larger and also important processes of civil society. Historical papers will be considered as well. Laurence S.
