Depending on what you mean by "solid" criticism, "Deconstructing
Durkheim" by Jennifer Lehmann might be something you could look at.
It's a well researched look at most of Durkheim's central ideas
regarding social economy. Personally I'm not entirely comfortable
with its theoretical orientation, but it's not difficult to read and
the bibliography at least will be useful to you.
