One way of expressing the forms currently taken by the inextricable interweaving of the "economic" and the "social" is Knorr Cetina and Bruegger's notion of "global microstructure." The financial markets are now global in their reach, but interaction within them still takes the form of "patterns of relatedness and coordination that are ... microsocial in character and that assemble and link global domains" (Knorr Cetina and Bruegger 2002a, p. 907).
