Explain substantivist approach to the understanding of economic sociology

The substantivist approach to economic sociology presents a distinct perspective on the intersection between economics and society. It emerged in response to the formalist approach, which treats economic actions as universally defined by the same set of rational, market-driven principles, regardless of cultural or social context. Substantivism, by contrast, emphasizes that economic behaviors and institutions must be understood within the specific cultural, social, and historical contexts in which they occur. 

The substantive approach to economic sociology owes much of its development to the works of key thinkers such as Karl Polanyi, Max Weber, and others who critiqued the reductionist, universalist assumptions of classical economic theory. Substantivists argue that economic systems cannot be understood purely in terms of abstract models of rational choice or market equilibrium; instead, they need to be considered as part of larger social systems that are shaped by values, norms, and social relationships.

At the heart of the substantivist approach is the notion that economic activity is embedded in social relations. This stands in stark contrast to the formalist approach, which tends to treat economics as a self-contained realm governed by its own rules. The term "embeddedness," introduced by Polanyi, signifies the idea that economic actions are not autonomous but are deeply influenced by the broader social and cultural context in which they occur. According to Polanyi, there is no universal economic logic that applies to all societies; rather, different societies have distinct ways of organizing and conducting economic life, influenced by their particular social structures and cultural values.
