La sociologie et la crise. : Quelle crise, et quelle sociologie ?

Résumé Fr En

SUMMARY In 1929 hardly any sociological research studied the crisis and, to date, there is very little on the present situation. At the moment, the economists in particular have developed two types of argument. One focuses on the very recent period, the other deals with the past thirty-five years. Sociology is not lacking in ways and means to study the crisis but it must update its categories and recognize the importance of new objects.
