Ökonomie als Gesellschaftstheorie

While in the early days of the social sciences it was taken for granted that their subject matter had to be described as “economy and society”, economics has often been neglected in the further development. This was necessary to avoid reductionism and to differentiate and pluralize the subject area, but has often led to the economy being overlooked as a force that shapes society as a whole rather than just a sectoral one. In the meantime, a rethink has begun and interest in economic theory as an essential part of social theory has increased significantly. The articles in this volume aim to give an idea of what this means.
