#Solidarity in #Strategy: Making #Business Meaningful in American Trade Associations is an award winning book that powerfully clarifies how ‘economic interest’ is filtered through cultural understandings of solidarity and moral obligation. >>Lyn Spillman (University of Notre Dame) explains how business associations are more collegial than cutthroat, and how they make capitalist action meaningful not only by developing shared ideas about collective interests but also by articulating a disinterested solidarity that transcends those interests. Do self-interest and profit-seeking exhaustively define what business is all about? Based on a tremendous empirical undertaking and deeply grounded in both economic sociology and cultural sociology, this excellent book provides rich, lively, and often surprising insights into the world of business, and leads us to question some of our most fundamental assumptions about economic life and how cultural context influences economic. press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/S/bo13181259.html
