Beschreibung
This book examines how entrepreneurial communities in Pakistan and beyond counteract social disintegration fuelled by neoliberal economic practices. It highlights the role of moral and social capital in mitigating social pathologies such as alienation, exclusion, and inequality caused by the disintegration of traditional family and community networks. Through an in-depth analysis of family, community, market, and firm dynamics in ethnic entrepreneurial communities, the book highlights how these groups avoid disintegration through the cultivation and preservation of moral and social capital. Comparative insights from ethnic, minority and community based entrepreneurial contexts further enrich the analysis and contribute to current debates in economic sociology, development studies, and the anthropology of entrepreneurship. It also offers a valuable resource for policymakers and development practitioners interested in community-based strategies for achieving socioeconomic sustainability. This volume will appeal to scholars and advanced students in sociology, political economy, organizational studies, and community development.
