उत्तर
Adam Smith and other thinkers developed the ideas of modem economics. It is based on the idea that the economy can be studied as a separate part of society that operates according to its own laws, leaving out the larger social or political context in which market functions.
On the other hand, sociologists have tried to develop an alternative way of studying economic institutions and processes within the larger social frameworks. In this way; sociologists consider markets as a social institution which are made in culturally specific ways. Sociologists maintain that economies are socially ‘embedded’.
