Economics sociology emerged from a struggle of understanding and explaining the radical social transformations of passing from the traditional society to the modern society. The period of Enlightenment, the French Revolution, and the Industrial Revolution are historical dynamics that have affected the transition from the traditional society to the modern society in the continental Europe. Mental and social practices of people that are included by these dynamics shape the mental, political and economic structures of the modern society. Among those who heavily influenced the birth of economic sociology, Max Weber, Adam Smith and Karl Marx can be pointed out.
