Synopses & ReviewsBook News Annotation:Sahlins (anthropology, U. of Chicago) rocked several disciplines with
his article "The Original Affluent Society," and his argument that
hunter-gatherers work less and are healthier than farmers still
raises controversy four decades later. It is one of six in this
collection, which together further his effort to create the specialty
economic anthropology. Other topics include the domestic mode of
production, the spirit of gift, and exchange value and the diplomacy
of primitive trade.
Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Synopsis:Ambitiously tackling the nature of economic life and how to study it comparatively, Stone Age Economics includes six studies that reflect the authors ideas on revising traditional views of hunter-gatherer and so-called primitive societies, revealing them to be the original affluent society. When it was originally published in 1974, E. Evans-Pritchard of the Times Literary Supplement noted that this classic study of anthropological economics is rich in factual evidence and in ideas, so rich that a brief review cannot do it justice; only another book could do that.
