This 25th volume in the Research in Economic Anthropology series
contains 12 original papers nine empirical ethnographic studies and
three theoretical essays all linked by a common concern with
economic choice in various social and cultural situations, and
authored by researchers in anthropology, economics, and sociology.
The ethnographic studies present data collected in Mexico,
Paraguay, Columbia, Greece, Morocco, Egypt, Thailand, Taiwan, and
Japan. Part I of the volume focuses on work migration, a theme that
has received much attention of late. Papers in Part II are
concerned with various manifestations of markets and market forces
in everyday life, and associated individual, group, or corporate
action. Part III consists of studies on economic development,
market expansion, and community-wide impacts in Latin America.
Finally, papers in Part IV share a common concern with the works of
noted economic historian Karl Polanyi, which have influenced
researchers in economic anthropology, economics, and sociology in
many different ways.
