Tribal and Peasant Economies

Description

Word-for-Word as printed on the back cover of the 1967 FIrst Edition Paperback: "This collection of readings, written in economic anthropology, covers the whole range of non-industrial economics—production, allocation, trade, and money—from the relatively static, traditional economies of subsistence and peasant communities to the more complex economies of communities undergoing social and economic change and development. Where necessary, the writings of economists, historians, and sociologists have also been included to provide analytical insight into matters of interest to anthropologists. George Dalton is Associate Professor of Economics and Anthropology at Northwestern University and a Staff member of its Program of African Studies. American Museum Sourcebooks in Anthropology, under the general editorship of Paul Bohannan, are compiled from the writings of anthropologists, and designed to offer the student of anthropology as wide a range of ethnographic fact as possible and a coherent foundation for anthropological theory."
