An important contribution to the anthropology of capitalism. It succeeds in telling a fascinating, if not unique, story about the culture of capitalism in Trinidad and points to several topics where future research is required. The book will be of interest to students of economic and cultural anthropology, global studies, critical theory, and Caribbean studies. American Anthropologist Miller offers a challenging assessment of the direction of contemporary capitalism. The Front Table Capitalism is full of insights, observations, and practical (as opposed to abstract) theory. It is a book which makes us think, a book that is relevant to the world in which almost all anthropologists now live. [...] Anthropology needs more books like this. The Australian Journal of Anthropology
