The schools covered are: Weberian, Marxian, Durkheimian, feminist, neo-classical economics, institutional economics, ethics, Foucauldian, postmodernist, organizational sociology and economic sociology. It is an essential text for academics and advanced students concerned with the sociology of work and labour/industrial relations.
