Description
Stone Age Economics explores the nature of economic life and how to study it comparatively. Marshall Sahlins examines six studies that reflect his ideas on revising traditional views of hunter-gatherer societies, revealing them as the original affluent society.
The book delves into notions of production, distribution, and exchange in early communities, and investigates the link between economics and cultural and social factors. It consists of detailed studies of tribal economies, domestic production for livelihood, and the submission of domestic production to societal demands.
