Excellent- More about The Economic Sociology of Development
This book provides an introduction to development and underdevelopment, placing various approaches to the definition, measurement, and understanding of "development" against the backdrop of broader sociological debates. It explores sociological thinking about development and underdevelopment informed by the latest currents in economic sociology, using concrete examples from different regions and epochs. It identifies relationships between mainstream and Marxist approaches, develops a parsimonious typology of national development outcomes, addresses cross-border learning and diffusion, considers the roles of religious, racial, and gender identities in the development process, and portrays contemporary global challenges as sociological problems in need of multifaceted solutions.

Schrank delves into sociological thinking about development and underdevelopment, drawing concrete examples from different regions and epochs. He explores the relationships between mainstream and Marxist approaches to the study of international inequality, develops a parsimonious typology of national development outcomes, addresses cross-border learning and diffusion in light of organization theory, considers the roles of religious, racial, and gender identities in the development process, and portrays contemporary global challenges such as populism, pandemics, and climate change as distinctly sociological problems in need of multifaceted solutions.
Enriched with expository figures, tables, and diagrams, this book is designed to cater to undergraduate and graduate students across the social sciences. It provides a solid foundation for understanding the sociological approach to development and underdevelopment, equipping readers with the tools to analyze and understand the complex dynamics of global inequality and its impact on societies.
