Oikos and Market: Explorations in Self-Sufficiency After Socialism
ISBN: 9781782386957 / Twarda / 2015 / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Self-sufficiency of the house is practiced in many parts of the world but ignored in economic theory, just as socialist collectivization is assumed to have brought household self-sufficiency to an end. The ideals of self-sufficiency, however, continue to shape economic activity in a wide range of postsocialist settings. This volume's six comparative studies of postsocialist villages in Eastern Europe and Asia illuminate the enduring importance of the house economy, which is based not on the market but on the order of the house. These formations show that economies depend not only on the...

Economy's Tension: The Dialectics of Community and Market
ISBN: 9780857457882 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Why are we obsessed with calculating our selections? The author argues that competitive trade nurtures calculative reason, which provides the ground for most discourses on economy. But market descriptions of economy are incomplete. Drawing on a range of materials from small ethnographic contexts to global financial markets, the author shows that economy is dialectically made up of two value realms, termed mutuality and impersonal trade. One or the other may be dominant; however, market reason usually cascades into and debases the mutuality on which it depends. Using this cross-cultural...

Bridging a gap between macro- and micro- viewpoints, the work shows the ways in which an economy is socially and historically determined.

ISBN: 9781782385691 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. "This volume links two fields of anthropological inquiry that were central to the development of the discipline, but have rarely been considered together in recent decades: the study of ritual and of economic systems and rationalities . . . It is a welcome and fresh contribution that has no direct equivalents currently in print." - Sonja Luehrmann, Simon Fraser University
" This book] makes an innovative contribution to the way we think about economic anthropology-rituals, celebrations, feasts, and the partly constructive ways that they are indelibly tied to economic practices." - Russell...

Economic Persuasions
ISBN: 9780857456632 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The volume features contributions from an impressive array of scholars operating at the borders between anthropology, sociology, and economics, and offers much to interest scholars from each of these disciplines. JRAI
As the transition from socialism to a market economy gathered speed in the early 1990s, many people proclaimed the final success of capitalism as a practice and neoliberal economics as its accompanying science. But with the uneven achievements of the "transition"-the deepening problems of "development," persistent unemployment, the widening of the wealth gap,...

Economic Persuasions
ISBN: 9781845454364 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. As the transition from socialism to a market economy gathered speed in the early 1990s, many people proclaimed the final success of capitalism as a practice and neoliberal economics as its accompanying science. But with the uneven achievements of the "transition"-the deepening problems of "development," persistent unemployment, the widening of the wealth gap, and expressions of resistance-the discipline of economics is no longer seen as a mirror of reality or as a unified science. How should we understand economics and, more broadly, the organization and disorganization of material life?...

Conversations in Colombia: The Domestic Economy in Life and Text
ISBN: 9780521387453 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Drawing upon their joint fieldwork, the authors cast this book as a conversation involving themselves, a Colombian rural people, and the writings of past economists. In their view, the material practices of the rural folk constitute a house model of the economy, and the Colombian voices provide a window on prior European fold conversations about the house. The house and the corporation have been the principal modes of material organization in Western life: the former is older, but the latter now predominates. The authors suggest, through use of the Colombian conversations, that textualists of...

Economy and Ritual: Studies of Postsocialist Transformations
ISBN: 9781785335198 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. According to accepted wisdom, rational practices and ritual action are opposed. Rituals drain wealth from capital investment and draw on a mode of thought different from practical ideas. The studies in this volume contest this view. Comparative, historical, and contemporary, the six ethnographies extend from Macedonia to Kyrgyzstan. Each one illuminates the economic and ritual changes in an area as it emerged from socialism and (re-)entered market society. Cutting against the idea that economy only means markets and that market action exhausts the meaning of economy, the studies show that...
