Sociology of labour law and the economy

Abstract

This short article reviews research on the sociology of labour law and the economy, highlighting, in the final paragraph, research of that nature that has been published in this journal. As a supplement to Sabine Frerichs’ more general reconstruction, in this issue, of how different generations of socio-legal thinking have dealt with matters of law, economy and society, it briefly sketches the theorising and analysis of the economy in labour law scholarship, from the beginning of the 20th century until today.
