This paper analyzes the traditional weaving market in the municipality of Resende Costa (MG) as a result of the relationship between collective action and local entrepreneurs. Through economic sociology and economy of space, we can identify interrelationships between private and collective actions. For the analysis of this market 664 questionnaires were applied in homes and 69 in commerce to gain a sample of those directly involved with the traditional weaving market. From these we could see that in the last two decades this market has undergone a series of organized transformations bureaucratically and socially controlled by the owners of commercial establishments. This article provides an analysis of the sociology of economic organization between strong ties and entrepreneurial initiative in a territory. The result of this analysis indicates that the market was influenced initially by structuring actions of the State, by a dispersed production in homes, by the division of labor and by a commercial bureaucratic organization that controls its commercial production services to meet on the one hand, the pressures of consumption and on the other hand, solidarity among people in an area.
