Conventional economic thought sees the economy as the sum of market
transactions carried out by rational individuals deciding how to
allocate their resources among the various things on offer that
would satisfy their desires. Economic anthropologists see things
differently. For them, the focus is the activities, relationships
and systems through which objects are produced, circulate among
people and ultimately are consumed, which take different forms in
different societies and even in different parts of the same
society. In this way, economic anthropology takes the rational
market actors of conventional economic thought and places them in
the world of people, relationships, systems, beliefs and values
that begins with production and ends with consumption. This
accessible and authoritative introduction to the field of economic
anthropology offers students a fresh and fascinating way of looking
at the economic world.
