Reviews

"'Carrier offers some intriguing insights into the content of the space between academic model and empirical reality of the ""Market""'. American Anthropologist 'A timely book, not just for anthropologists but for everyone living in the post-Reagan/Thatcher world of market culture... An excellent volume precisely because, in well-written papers with exemplary inter-referenced editing, it eschews ...easy dichotomies.' Anthropological Quarterly 'I agree with [William] Roseberry's conclusion that ""The value of this book is that it does not respect the historical divide between a socially and culturally embedded non-market economy and a non-social, transaction-based market economy ... The essays in this book clear new ground for critical anthropological work""' American Anthropologist"
