Working economy \ 1-1
During the period until today, when the concepts of labor and work first appeared on the stage of history, different ideas have been developed for these concepts. In primitive times, the concept of work was defined as doing enough work to maintain life at a minimum level, but in modern times this provision is no longer sufficient. With the discovery of production by human beings and the emergence of the concept of wage with this discovery, the attitude towards work has also changed.
In this book, which tries to look at the concepts of work and employment from a sociological perspective, the views of various sociologists on these concepts and how the concepts are shaped according to the lifestyles, values and judgments of societies are tried to be conveyed to the reader.

Sociology of Economics aims at the journey of finding the 'economics in life', not the 'life in economics'. For this purpose, by making use of the views of different thinkers from Adam Smith to Karl Marx, from Max Weber to Emile Durkheim, from Werner Sombart to Joseph Schumpeter, from Karl Polanyi to Mark Granovetter and Pierre Bourdieu, the lost spirit in economics and society ; He tries to find real economics by examining the narcissist and hedonist approaches of postmodern consumer culture and the social and economic relations created by global capitalism. This book is, “First there was people, not economics.” Based on its motto, it tries to understand and make sense of the economic processes from the most primitive ages to the present day. Now is the time to question more the economic approaches that isolate people and society.

Career in terms of persons; It is a phenomenon that needs to be re-interpreted by taking into account the values, interests, personality and competencies, the time and future years. It is necessary to consider the concept of career as a lifelong process rather than a phenomenon that is chosen once in a certain time period. This process consists of different phases, in which there are different motives that direct the person in each phase, and it has a characteristic that changes over time. Career includes external and internal elements that must be taken in interaction and in a balanced way. The economic and social return of the career shows the external (objective) aspect, while the satisfaction and inner peace in the career indicates the internal (subjective) aspect. Although the weight of these elements varies to a certain extent according to the individuals, the balanced execution of these two will bring both the continuation of personal productivity and personal satisfaction. Career is a phenomenon that needs to be positioned correctly and balanced in terms of other roles and responsibilities for people in life. It is observed that career people develop more healthily in an environment where they take more responsibility and make choices accordingly, and where social structures and theories are supportive and facilitating.
