Views and works
[edit]Trigilia developed a landmark European synthesis and definition of economic sociology.[9] For him, economic sociology is "a body of study and research aimed at establishing the links between economic and social phenomena".[9] Therefore, he adopted a comprehensive approach to economics which deals with the role of culture and institutions of economic development.[9]
Trigilia has published many scientific articles and books focusing on economic sociology, on local development in Europe and Italy, with a particular reference to the vision of small-centre development regions (Third Italy) and the backward regions of Mezzogiorno. His books include:Capitalismi e Democrazie. Si possono conciliare crescita e uguaglianza? Bologna, Il Mulino, 2020 (eds) [English translation, Routledge 2022]; Sociologia Economica: Stati, Mercato e Società nel Capitalismo Moderno (Il Mulino, 1978, new edition, 2002 and 2009; English translation: Economic Sociology: State, Market, and Society in Modern Capitalism Balckwell 2002; French translation: Sociologie économique, Paris, Armand Colin, 2002);[9] Local Production Systems in Europe: Rise or Demise ?
