“Stone Age Economics” is a classic study of anthropological economics. It was first published in 1974 by Marshall Sahlins. It radically revises traditional views of the hunter-gatherer and so-called primitive societies, revealing them to be 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. It includes six studies which reflect Sahlins’ ideas on revising traditional views of these societies.
The Original Affluent Society
The Domestic Mode of Production: The Structure of Underproduction
The Domestic Mode of Production: Intensification of Production
The Spirit of the Gift
On the Sociology of Primitive Exchange
Exchange Value and the Diplomacy of Primitive Trade
The book is a must have anyone who is interested on History of Economics, and can be bought at Amazon as well as at Walmart.
