    This Wikipedia article introduces economic sociology. This field studies the social causes and consequences of various economic phenomena. Classical economic sociology emphasizes the interaction between social and economic structures, while modern economic sociology focuses on the social outcomes and meanings of economic exchanges. Economic sociology is a social science field that examines the interaction between economic activities and social processes.

Introduction to the blog

This blog is a digital forum where students from Spring 2024 class in Invitation to Sociology at the Hanyang University in Korea will discuss their weekly readings and activities. Each week you are expected to post a blog post on at least 3 pages worth of the readings assigned for next week on our blog (here)  and make a comment on another student's post. As you are expected to do the assigned readings FOR the lectures they are assigned to, you are expected to post your blog and comments BEFORE that lecture. Deadline: Saturday midnight, for main blog posts and Sunday, midnight for comments.

For example, in school, unlike at home, there are
