• In this presidential address, Michael J. Piore, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, speaks about the relationship between sociology & economics, specifically the potential function of this relationship in light of the recent political crossroads as the nation shifts away from public policy dominated by neoliberalism & the Washington Consensus. According to Piore, the most significant obstacle to progress in understanding the relationship between economics & sociology is the way is that fact that we conceptualize society as "static & conservative." This, Piore argues, causes us to see society as a constraint upon economic activity. Piore suggests that society should be viewed as dynamic & belonging to a "sovereign sphere" so when it crosses the economy in models it does so as an "equal & active force.". C. Goger
