Stone Age Economics

by Marshall Sahlins

Stone Age Economics is a classic study of anthropological economics, first published in 1974 and re-issued here with a new preface written by the author. `Ambitiously tackling the nature of economic life and how to study it comparatively', the book includes six studies which reflect his ideas on revising traditional views of hunter-gatherer and so-called `primitive' societies, revealing them to be the original affluent society. It may not be easy reading but it continues to be extremely relevant to current debates within archaeology and anthropology. 348p (1974, Routledge 2004)
