The first edition of this unique Handbook was praised for its
substantial and invaluable summary discussions of work by
anthropologists on economic processes and issues, on the
relationship between economic and non-economic areas of life and on
the conceptual orientations that are important among economic
anthropologists. This thoroughly revised edition brings those
discussions up to date, and includes an important new section
exploring ways that leading anthropologists have approached the
current economic crisis. Its scope and accessibility make it useful
both to those who are interested in a particular topic and to those
who want to see the breadth and fruitfulness of an anthropological
study of economy.This comprehensive Handbook will strongly appeal
to undergraduate and post-graduate students in anthropology,
economists interested in social and cultural dimensions of economic
life, and alternative approaches to economic life, political
economists, political scientists and historians. Contributors: C.
