However, when in pursuit of a theme such as the performativity of economics, one should not give in to the temptation to exaggerate its significance. In particular, attention to performativity does not render redundant economic sociology's focus on the embedding of economic action in cultures, in political systems, and in networks of interpersonal connections. Especially in chapter 6, we saw performativity articulating with these matters, rather than displacing them.
