Description
Economic Networks by David Knoke explores how social ties among economic actors shape our understanding of diverse economic actions. By examining connections between individuals, groups, organizations, and populations, Knoke reveals the complex structural patterns that underlie economic activity. Social capital, in the form of valuable resource connections, plays a vital role in finding employment, buying a car, creating new industries, or triggering global financial crises. This book provides an accessible explanation of core network concepts, measures, and analysis methods behind these phenomena, using striking visual diagrams to illustrate complex patterns. Ideal for students of economic sociology and social network analysis, Economic Networks offers a valuable critique of the multifaceted economic webs in which we are all entangled.
