Much orthodox economic theory is based on assumptions which are treated as self-evident: supply and demand are regarded as independent entities, the individual is assumed to be a rational agent who knows his interests and how to make decisions corresponding to them, and so on. But one has only to examine an economic transaction closely, as Pierre Bourdieu does here for the buying and selling of houses, to see that these abstract assumptions cannot explain what happens in reality.As Bourdieu shows, the market is constructed by the state, which can decide, for example, whether to promote private housing or collective provision. And the individuals involved in the transaction are immersed in symbolic constructions which constitute, in a strong sense, the value of houses, neighbourhoods and towns.The abstract and illusory nature of the assumptions of orthodox economic theory has been criticised by some economists, but Bourdieu argues that we must go further. Supply, demand, the market and even the buyer and seller are products of a process of social construction, and so-called 'economic' processes can be adequately described only by calling on sociological methods. Instead of seeing the two disciplines in antagonistic terms, it is time to recognize that sociology and economics are in fact part of a single discipline, the object of which is the analysis of social facts, of which economic transactions are in the end merely one aspect.This brilliant study by the most original sociologist of post-war France will be essential reading for students and scholars of sociology, economics, anthropology and related disciplines.

評分布迪厄的這本書餘看瞭,但是其實是半知半解的狀態。書中的前麵部分主要批判瞭經濟學發展的不是,悉數瞭經濟學的諸多不經如人意的地方。後麵部分則探討瞭經濟發展的社會基礎,並以住房市場為例進行瞭詳細地闡釋,這一部分餘不太懂和明白。 布迪厄的作品的一大特點就是不太能懂,...

二刷,突然覺得絕妙。應該是布迪厄嚮公共知識分子轉型時期的作品。最後的結尾簡直是中國現實的預警。
評分強調超越機械供/需模型的經濟 in making,這麼一想法國人的理論還真是都挺像的。還是很詫異布迪厄竟然這麼強調國傢的作用。基本是其經典理論在經濟場域的一次應用,對 structuring the structured structure 和 habitus 的討論其實早就比較熟悉瞭,因此好像也沒啥太大的啓發。當然講住房市場那個我基本全程都懵的,可能略過瞭其精華吧……總體不是特彆喜歡。
