This article makes the claim that certain strands of thinking within the sociology of knowledge, including the sociology of science, may provide some of the most powerful intellectual resources for rethinking the role of law within economic life. Starting with an understanding of the ‘rationality’ of economic actors as a situated social construction, this literature encourages us to explore law's role in the construction, dissemination, and evolution of the structures of knowledge which form the foundation of particular market rationalities. It offers one potential avenue for answering recent calls for further research into the constitutive role of law in economic life.
