Primitive Polynesian Economy
ISBN: 9780393007749 / Angielski / Miękka / 1975 / 412 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Professor Firth discovers how far economic categories such as "labor," "capital," and "value" can be applied to such primitive conditions, shows the effect of the absence of an exact exchange medium, and provides much quantitative data about property and food resources.
