Opis

This volume is not simply another general theory of world system. It is a theoretically and ethnographically informed collection of essays which opens up new questions through an examination of concrete cases, covering global and local questions of political economy.

Recenzje

"Savage Money is certainly the most innovative contribution to economic anthropology for a decade and will be read with the greatest intellectual pleasure, even by those who most strongly disagree with its arguments."
