Preface to The Human Perspective in Sociology: The Methodology of Participant Observation
William Foote Whyte wrote this Preface for a new edition of my book The Human Perspective in Sociology: The Methodology of Participant Observation that was never published.

William F. Whyte: An appreciation
A Civil Economy: Transforming the Marketplace in the Twenty-First Century
A civil society is one in which a democratic government and a market economy operate together. The idea of the civil economy--encompassing a democratic government and a market economy--presumes that people can solve social problems within the market itself. This book explores the relationship between the two, examining the civil underpinnings of capitalism and investigating the way a civil economy evolves in history and is developed for the futur…

The Moral Economy
Scottish philosophers in the eighteenth century interpreted the market economy as a “civil society, ” a path toward freedom and a new morality, separate from monarchal government. They expected markets to be self regulating and expected them to function with ties to a moral life. The market was a civil order, but that vision was destroyed when corporations rose to power in succeeding centuries, and governments were enlarged to regulate markets. T…

The Community Self-Study: Worker Self-Management Versus the New Class
A major change has been taking place in capitalist and socialist nations over the last thirty years around the role of the worker in the hierarchy of economic life. This change is being described by some scholars as a movement toward worker self-management. It refers to degrees of authority and power being achieved by the working class in the economy of modern nations. It is clearly a social trend visible in many nations which is antithetical to …

The Methodology of Participant Observation

The place of this technique in the methodology of social sciences has yet to be thoroughly examined. It still remains a questionable technique for some social scientists largely because it raises some of the…
