Ebook: Social Mechanisms: An Analytical Approach to Social Theory (Studies in Rationality and Social Change)
Author: Peter Hedström Richard Swedberg
The mechanism approach calls attention to an intermediary level of analysis, in between pure description and story-telling, on the one hand, and grand theorizing and universal social laws, on the other.

For social theory to be of use for the working social scientist, it must attain a high level of precision and provide a toolbox from which middle range theories can be constructed.
