Offering a new and comprehensive overview of important topics and
orientations in the anthropological study of economic life, this
invigorating third edition of A Handbook of Economic Anthropology
addresses key changes in the decade since the previous edition in
people's economic lives and environments, as well as in
intellectual interest among scholars. The Handbook contains diverse
reflections on the economic turmoil of 2008 and the austerity that
followed. Containing 35 newly commissioned chapters from important
scholars in the field, it covers the nature of work and the
changing ways people think about it, as stable jobs give way to
short term work and the platform economy, as well as the expansion
of the financial sector and efforts to control it. Chapters further
explore social reproduction, the maintenance and regeneration of
households and social relations over time, as well as the
increasing concern with value, morality and ethics, both as things
that motivate people and as policy orientations. This will be a
critical read for academic anthropologists looking for a
state-of-the-art and thorough reference work for this key area of
the discipline. Economic sociologists and geographers, as well as
heterodox economists will also benefit from the broad range of
empirical work and theoretical standpoints explored.
