Economic Anthropology. History of Origin and Development
Tatyana Shishkina is a candidate of economic sciences, an author of scientific and popular scientific articles on economic decision-making and the history of economic thought. She developed and taught courses on economic anthropology and behavioral economics at St. Petersburg State...
University. For more than 8 years, she has been working in IT, specializing in data analysis. What do public blanket burnings in Canada in the 19th century, ceremonial exchange of jewelry in the islands of Melanesia, and the socks you give to a colleague for New Year have in common? What was the economic life of primitive tribes like, and how does it resemble modern market society? Why do people organize their economic life so differently - and why do similar economic practices suddenly emerge in cultures that are separated by centuries and oceans? Economic anthropology attempts to answer these questions (and dozens of others) - a unique interdisciplinary field that emerged in the early 20th century when anthropologists became interested in economics. The book you are holding now offers a detailed and accessible analysis of the development of economic anthropology, from its birth to the present day.
