摘要：Economic sociology is flourishing, as the rediscovery of the
economy by a range of social scientists gains increasing
momentum. This rediscovery could not be more timely, as
politicians, regulators, commentators and many academics
struggle to come to terms with the near-collapse of the
global financial system in recent weeks. While economists
continue to say much about markets, hierarchies and con-
tracting, sociologists continue their concerns with organi-
zations and networks. But neither has yet said much about
the roles of the calculative infrastructures that make and
shape markets, hierarchies, contracts, organizations, and
networks. Even fewer seek to explore the links between
these calculative infrastructures and the modes of govern-
ing of individuals and social relations. This remains the
case, just as an increasing number of researchers begin to
recognize the roles of calculative models in framing socio-
technical interactions in the particular setting of financial
markets (e.g. Beunza and Stark 2004; Callon 1998; Kalt-
hoff 2005; Knorr Cetina and Preda 2005; MacKenzie
2006; MacKenzie and Millo 2003; Muniesa 2007; Preda
2006).
