Социолошки поглед на економску кризу
Global Economic Crisis: Sociological Perspective

Summary/Abstract: As opposed to the 1980s, when domestic sociologists were actively analyzing the crisis of Yugoslav society, nowadays there are almost no domestic sociological studies concerning the global economic crisis. There are three reasons for that. First, the current crisis was initially described as a financial crisis, the analysis of which required financial knowledge that sociologists did not have. Second, prevailing “methodological nationalism” made it difficult to connect global and local levels of analysis so crisis in Serbia was generally interpreted by use of endogenous factors. Finally, sociologists became victims of a widespread belief that economy was more important than society and thus relinquished the interpretation of current events to economists.
