Stone Age economics
by Marshall Sahlins
- 5 Want to read
"Stone Age Economics is a classic of economic anthropology, ambitiously tackling the nature of economic life and how to study it comparatively. This collection of six essays, first published in 1974, is one of Marshall Sahlin's most influential and enduring works, asserting that Stone Age economies formed the original affluent society. The book examines notions of production, distribution and exchange in early communities and examines the link between economics and cultural and social factors."--Jacket.

Work Description
«Muchos de los ensayos contenidos en este volumen los escribí en distintas oportunidades durante los últimos diez años. Otros fueron escritos especialmente para esta publicación. Todos ellos fueron concebidos y reunidos aquí con la esperanza de constituir una antropología económica, es decir, algo distinto de las interpretaciones prácticas de las economías y las sociedades primitivas [...]»
Clásico indiscutible y obra de referencia en los estudios de antropología, la presente obra (Stone Age Economics, 1974) contribuyó de manera significativa a la crítica del evolucionismo lineal, abandonando la visión clásica preponderante en los tratados de antropología económica y planteando la necesidad de desarrollar una nueva forma de análisis más apropiada para las sociedades históricas paleolíticas y para la historia intelectual de la antropología.
