Ronald S. Burt
Brokerage and Closure: An Introduction to Social Capital

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionSocial capital, the advantage created by location in social structure is a critical element in business strategy. Who has it, how it works and how to develop it have become key questions as markets, organizations and careers become more and more dependent on informal discretionary relationships. The formal organization deals with accountability, Everything else flows through the informal, advice, coordination, cooperation, friendship, gossip, knowledge, trust. Informal relations have always been with us, they have always mattered. What is new is the range of activities in which they now matter, and the emerging clarity we have about how they create advantage for certain people at the expense of others. This is done by brokerage and closure. Ronald S. Burt builds on his celebrated work in this area to explore the nature of brokerage and closure. Brokerage is the activity of people who live at the intersecting of social worlds, who have a vision advantage of seeing… [detailed...]

Timothy M. Frye
Brokers and Bureaucrats : Building Market Institutions in Russia

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: A classic problem of social order prompts the central questions of this book: Why are some groups better able to govern themselves than others? Why do state actors sometimes delegate governing power to other bodies? How do different organizations including the state, the business community, and protection rackets come to govern different markets? Scholars have used both sociological and economic approaches to study these questions, here Timothy Frye argues for a different approach. He seeks to extend the theoretical and empirical scope of theories of self-governance beyond groups that exist in isolation from the state and suggests that social order is primarily a political problem. Drawing on extensive interviews, surveys, and other sources, Frye addresses these question by studying five markets in contemporary Russia, including the currency futures, universal and specialized commodities, and equities markets. Using a model that depicts the effect of state policy on… [detailed...]

Timothy Earle
Bronze Age Economics: The First Political Economies

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Bronze Age Economics is a collection of Timothy Earle`s major essays. Its comparative analysis of prehistoric economies is grounded in archaeological and historical data from three cases: Hawaiian chiefdoms, Andean South America (particularly the Inka), and Bronze Age Denmark. The book looks at trajectories of economic development as they affect, and are affected by, political institutions. In particular, Earle`s essays examine the distinction between (1) `corporate` (that is, kinship-based) control of intensively maintained agricultural resources in Hawaii and Peru and (2) extensive exchange (market) networks in Denmark. The essays then evaluate the significance of that economic distinction for the evolution of political institutions (such as chiefdoms and the state). Earle has organized the readings around each of the three case studies rather than directly around the corporate/exchange dichotomy. As the book represents the trajectory of Earle`s professional life over the… [detailed...]

Jeannette Wales Chapman
Brookfield Farm: Stories of Land and Lives

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Jeannette W. Chapman, `The Story-Teller,` has always lived in Cushing, Maine. This memoir of her beloved Brookfield Farm includes 35 old farm and family photos. Her purpose is to share with her grandchildren and great-grands what life was once like on this family farm. The animals, the farm chores, the tools and the tempo -- even the tree-planting - are recorded here as fond memories of a nostalgic, long-ago life-style. Jeannette still lives at Brookfield Farm, grateful that it has gained new life with a younger generation. Grandson Eli has beautifully restored the old barn and transformed it into his wood-working business. He and his young family live on the `other side` of the farmhouse. `Brookfield Farm` is not a professional work. It remains a personal gift to her family. Once Cushing friends learned of her book, however, Jeannette was soon persuaded to make it available to anyone with an interest in local history. The reader will not be disappointed. [detailed...]
