Michel Callon passed away July 28th. Following Latour, he narrowed down the performativity of science program to a domain where it was reasonable: economics. He was also a generous and open-minded mentor to a whole generation of economic sociologists.

years it took: 9

But it can be summarized in one 5-word sentence: Top earners increasingly work together. PERIOD.

It's a tool that we think many applied economists will find useful (indeed many already have).
