Abstract
This essay is an attempt to look at the way economic sociology has changed during the paradigm crisis in the United States and Sweden The article starts out by arguing that economic sociology - especially in mainstream American sociology - has had a distinct tendency to separate 'economy' from 'society' During the crisis of the 1960s, however, there developed a critique of this 'economy and society' perspective. This critique came pri marily from three movements of thought: neo-Marxism, feminism, and Third World theory The alternatives for a 'new' economic sociology that were presented in the United States and Sweden (in which 'economy' and 'society' are integrated with each other into a 'totality') are discussed in detail.
