The interpretations proposed by Parsons are criticized, and it is thereby concluded that this divide has inhibited more than propitiated the intellectual commerce within social sciences, although no doubt enhancing Parsons' academic position. At any rate, it has also assured an academic recognition for sociology, if in a subaltern- situation vis-\u00e0-vis economics. Further theoretical reformulations by Parsons are confirmation of previously mentioned incoherence and misunderstandings, without resolving them.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1468795x08095208","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,10,7]],"date-time":"2008-10-07T10:33:56Z","timestamp":1223375636000},"page":"467-490","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["The Economics\u2014Sociology Divide"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Jo\u00e3o Carlos","family":"Gra\u00e7a","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"ISEG-UTL, Portugal,"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,11,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1467-6435.1989.tb01276.x"},{"key":"atypb2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4159\/9780674029095"},{"key":"atypb3","volume-title":"The Network Structure of Social Capital.
