The idea of a moral economy has been explored and assessed in
numerous disciplines. The anthropological studies in this volume
provide a new perspective to this idea by showing how the relations
of workers, employees and employers, and of firms, families and
households are interwoven with local notions of moralities. From
concepts of individual autonomy, kinship obligations, to ways of
expressing mutuality or creativity, moral values exert an
unrealized influence, and these often produce more consent than
resistance or outrage.
What makes private property valuable, desirable, or workable? This
book focuses on the social and economic dimensions of private
property in Azerbaijan after the agrarian reforms of 1996. It looks
at the kinds of land and cultivation strategies emerging in the
decades after the fall of the Soviet Union, and it examines why
rural households are often unwilling to cultivate the privatized
land shares they have received for free, despite the threat and
existence of rural poverty. Consideration is given to households
that engage in cultivation and households that do not - including
households of internally displaced persons who were formally
excluded from privatization, but were nevertheless successful and
eager cultivators. The book asks, how far does private property
thrive on its own, without the support of lucrative markets or the
implementation of state-sponsored economic policies? Through the
lens of economic anthropology, it chronicles the historical legacy
of authoritarian state structures and the contemporary micro- and
macro-economic struggles that mark a politics of property after
socialism. (Series: Halle Studies in the Anthropology of Eurasia -
