Presenting new insights into reciprocity, this book combines Marcel
Mauss's well-known gift theory with Barrington Moore's idea of
mutual obligations linking rulers and the ruled. Teasing out the
interrelatedness of these approaches, Reciprocity in Human
Societies suggests that evolutionary psychology reveals a human
tendency for reciprocity and collaboration, not only in a mutually
cooperative way but also through increasing retributive moral
emotions. The book discusses various historical societies and the
different models of the current welfare state-Nordic (social
democratic), conservative, and liberal- and the repercussions of
the neoliberal policies of tax havens, tax cuts, and austerity with
a cross-disciplinary approach that bridges evolutionary psychology,
sociology, and social anthropology with history.
