Economic anthropologists carry out research in all parts of the
globe, producing ethnographic studies, cross-cultural comparisons
and theoretical works. They explore how growing markets, new
technologies and expanding capital affect marginalised people or
the control of wealth between genders. The empirical studies of
economic anthropologists are based on participation and observation
and provide an information bank for testing formal theories. Their
findings often challenge prevailing concepts of modern economics,
because much of their collected information falls outside accepted
paradigms or schemes. In this important collection, Stephen Gudeman
has selected a range of seminal papers which highlight differences
and convergence between anthropologists and economists, and which
trace the major developments in economic anthropology from 1922 to
the present day. The articles draw on the anthropological notions
of culture and context, and examine economic processes such as
production, exchange and consumption, and the application of
theories, such as Marxist, institutionalist and neoclassical
explanations, to field data. This authoritative volume will be an
essential reference source for both economists and anthropologists.
