Viviana A. Zelizer, Lloyd Cotsen '50 Professor of Sociology at Princeton University, analyzes the interplay of economic activity and social practices with special reference to American experience from the 19th century onward. She is the author of books on life insurance, the value of children, and the social meaning of money. Her most recent book, The Purchase of Intimacy (Princeton University Press, 2005) deals with the integration of a variety of economic circumstances and intimate personal ties, both in everyday practice and in the law. It includes the formation of couples, the provision of personal care, and social relations within households.
