Date: Mon, 27 Nov 1995 23:40:15 +0100 From: Bengt Carlsson <bengtc-AT-plato.algonet.se> Subject: Introduction Hello. Like others I have been waiting for an opportunity to discuss Bourdieu on the net. I am non-academic writer and got introduced to Bourdieu some ten years ago. In my own non-academic way I have used some of his theories in a book on the middle class in Sweden. I am specially interested in how the middle class manage to reproduce their positions in education, culture, etc. My last book was a likewise non-academic view on economics. I am very interested in economic sociology (and economic anthropology), which I think can explain much more of the economic life than classical economics. But to my knowledge Bourdieu have done any great work in that field (correct me if I am wrong). Yet. For any kind advice on good studies of economic sociology (in the spirit of Bourdieu) I would be very grateful. Regards Bengt Carlsson Stockholm/Sweden
