Description
Economic Persuasions by Stephen Gudeman explores how economics and anthropology intersect to understand material life. This book re-examines central problems in both fields, using ethnographic and historical examples to contrast methods and epistemologies. A rhetorical approach offers a new mode of analysis, drawing on established contributions from international scholars. By examining the intersections between economics and anthropology, this book provides a fresh perspective on the organization and disorganization of material life. This collection of essays sheds light on the discipline of economics and its relationship with reality, highlighting the need for a more nuanced understanding of economic theories and their impact on society.
