had done up to that moment and, at the same time, something incomparable to anything he had ever published’ (pp. 335–336). Remarkably, though not surprisingly, Religion was just a part of what Bellah had envisioned. Dropped from an early outline of the book were chapters on modernity in which he could incorporate his understanding of Japanese exceptionalism as a modern society with no axial breakthrough and his long-developing interpretation of the United States as the product of the Protestant Reformation gone bad. Had all gone as planned, Bellah would have folded this latter idea into The Modern Project in Light of Human Evolution (p. 352), in which he would grapple with whether tradition could save modernity from itself. Of course, Bellah’s life did not always go as planned and this project, like modernity itself, was left unfinished when he died at age 86 in 2013. In a November 2011 panel on Religion, Bellah noted, ‘Recently somebody asked me: Why are you writing this book about religion when you should write your autobiography? I said: I am writing my autobiography, it’s the autobiography of the human race!’ (p. xii). Here again, Bellah was exaggerating only slightly. Bortolini notes the distinctive character of Religion as a text in which ‘the creative process had the same importance as the final outcome’. The text was performative, with ‘oscillations between truth claims and “the grounds for thinking them true”. . . . Bob was everywhere. . . . To put it another way, Bob was the book and the book was Bob’ (pp. 335–337). This, too, makes sense when we consider that a favorite passage of Bellah’s by poet William Butler Yeats reads, ‘Man can embody the truth but he cannot know it’. The truth Robert N. Bellah embodied was intellectual curiosity. I experienced this myself in 1989 when, as an undergraduate in his famous Sociology of Religion course, I visited him during office hours almost weekly. I would pepper him with juvenile questions he no doubt had heard before. Still, he listened to me in perfect silence, chin in hand, as if he had never heard the questions before, patiently answering each. As Matteo Bortolini’s beautiful biography shows over and over, the importance of intellectual curiosity is the ultimate lesson of Bellah’s life and work.

Trade and Nation is a major work in historical sociology on the rise of modern economic thought. Erikson offers a thoroughly researched account of the transition from medieval economic thought to the emergence of modern thought in England in the seventeenth century. But it is more than an historical account, she also offers a sociological explanation. Medieval ideas of the economy were part of a religious view of the world and were also deeply moral. But in the seventeenth century, people began to frame economic issues very differently from the preceding centuries when scholastic discourse dominated. Instead of notions of fair exchange and individual morality, it was the ideas of growth, the balance of trade, and the prosperity of the nation that took precedence. The transition, between 1580 and 1720, had huge implications for the modern economy in that it made possible a new discourse, one that was the basis of the modern science of economics. It also laid the foundations for economic nationalism. The needs of the state – crown and nation – were given predominance over social concerns, such as the welfare of the poor. The new economic discourse took place within the context of the nationstate, which was in need of new ideas for economic growth. The seventeenth century saw the rise of a vast body of writings on commerce and trade. In this period, there was also some major debates on the economy, though the notion of the economy as such was not widely used to frame debates. One of the most consequential debates for the new era of mercantilism was the argument, advanced by Thomas Mun, for the over-riding importance of the balance of trade, which began to be seen as operating on its own dynamics and not something that could be easily controlled by governments. In this period, the basic tenets of liberal economic theory were taking place. Erikson provides an explanation of why this take-off occurred and why it did so in England, and not elsewhere as, for example, in the Dutch Republic where the 1158881 ISS0010.1177/02685809231158881International SociologyReviews: Economic Sociology review-article2023

Sociologists have much to learn from recent anthropological accounts of expertise in global health. This review surveys three recent ethnographies from Fearnley (2020), Keck (2020), and Porter (2019) to examine how global pushes for biosecurity and zoonotic disease surveillance are unfolding in the global periphery. Collectively, these accounts of global health programs in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, and Vietnam show how global forms of expertise are translated into local contexts, running up against resistance and creating new alternate networks of expertise to overcome these barriers. While this focus on translation examines how practices of biosecurity originating from the Global North are implemented elsewhere and are transformed in the process, in preparation for future pandemics, global health experts should also consider how to collect, assemble, and translate local expertise so that it is legible to global science and policymakers faraway.

This article addresses what is still an under-examined issue in social mobility literature: the role played by women in the transmission of social advantages and life chances. We include models that incorporate both progenitors for those who were born in Spain between 1926 and 1976. We selected this country due to the far-reaching transformations experienced there for the female population in recent decades in terms of fertility rates, labor market, and educational mobility. Our results show that joint models that consider the influence of both the mother’s and father’s social class more accurately predict children’s social mobility than models that only considers the father’s social class. Contrary to previous studies, we do not find a clear movement toward a more open society, but rather a gendered fluctuation. While the social fluidity of sons has remained constant over time, daughters have experienced an intense process of social fluidity.

The article targets the reasons that are behind behaviour orientation in the vaccination process against COVID-19. The data we are using come from the Flash Eurobarometer 494, collected in May 2021. The key dependent variable puts together vaccination intentions (soon, later on in 2021, undecided, later, never) and the fact of being vaccinated or not. A multivariate and multilevel analysis confirms the validity of an extended theory of planned behaviour in explaining the orientation to the vaccination against COVID-19. The space patterning of the behaviours is highly marked by differences among Old versus the New Member States of the European Union, clusters of countries, urban versus rural areas, and also by a function of trust in relevant institutions, and customs of using vaccination to cope with different diseases as an adult. New questions and hypotheses are generated by multiple comparisons.

This article contributes to contemporary debates on self-entrepreneurship in cultural work by focusing on project-based theatre actors in Italy. Drawing on in-depth interviews, the study considers performing artists’ narratives of success, unsuccess, and future expectations to shed light on how entrepreneurial projects are negotiated in neoliberal cultural work. The article expands current research by considering how self-entrepreneurial projects are lived out in insecure working environments, taking into account a geographical area and a creative sector often overlooked by studies of creative labour. In a context where precariousness is normalised, actors’ discourses point at the emergence of disaffection towards neoliberal entrepreneurial ideals of autonomy and competition and to the loss of a progressive idea of biographical projects. The research highlights that an ongoing status of insecurity can mine optimistic and entrepreneurial orientations, questioning the sustainability of neoliberal ethos of work as a future-oriented project in times of enhanced insecurity.
