Une relect6ure des travaux d'alfred Weber sur la localisation.A l'articulation de l'economique et du socioculturel

摘要

The English translation of only the first part of Uber den Standort der Industrien helped to shape a neoclassical image of Alfred Weber, D, Gregory has attempted to take into account the whole of the author's work concerning location, in order to denounce an "interpretative violence", but has made a far too simplistic interpretation in terms of an epistemological break. The project of Weber was sociological in nature from the beginning and it participated in the attempts of his brother Max and of his friend Sombart: to link the abstract approach of the classical English economists to the more inductive approach of the German Historical School and also articulate economic and sociocultural dimensions. The questions that are now posed by economic geography surrounding the embeddedness of the economy within social realities confer new interest to this approach.
