From this analysis, I develop an explanatory model for the effects of moral meanings derived from the genesis of shared normative categories; this offers a way of fostering mutually binding social critique that departs from the principles of communicative action; I contribute a new argument for the role that social justice meanings play in general processes of institutionalization; I also offer a moral and evaluative counterweight to contemporary neo-Polanyian understandings of the amoral market in economic sociology; finally, I identify endogenous mechanisms for theorizing macro-cultural change (like rationalization) as part of non-derivative cultural processes. cache/cv43nv9581r.txt txt/cv43nv9581r.txt
