Abstrakt
This volume proposes the most recent international research trajectories on the study of economists as a professional class, of economic knowledge as a specific discipline within the social sciences and of economic expertise as a stratification of discourses, significant practices, legal and administrative technologies that contribute shaping our way of thinking and inhabiting the world. Through a plurality of perspectives, discourse studies, network analysis, media and communication studies, historical sociology, global political economy and international relations, the essays offer new theoretical and methodological tools to situate economic science and economists in the broader social process and understand the connections between science and politics, knowledge and power, truth and interests.
