William J. Baumol, New York University "Nee and Swedberg have brought together an incredibly diverse and distinguished group of sociologists, economists, and political scientists to give Weber his due and show that his intellectual concerns are alive and well. Offering a terrifically wide range of topicsincluding religion and capitalism, law and the state in issues of development, and the role of social interaction in understanding corruption and the collective dynamics of market actorsmany of these essays are gems." Neil Fligstein, University of California, Berkeley "On Capitalism offers a refreshingly diverse range of insights into economic growth through its Weberian focus on non-economic factors such as ideas, institutions, culture, and religion.You may not agree with every essay in the volume, but you will learn a great deal by engaging these original and often unconventional perspectives. I recommend the volume to anyone interested in the spirit of contemporary capitalism." AnnaLee Saxenian, University of California, Berkeley
