Anthropology, Economics, and Choice by Michael Chibnik
This book presents the first extended critique of rational choice theory from an anthropological perspective.
"Beyond its wealth of information, this book is well organized, comprehensible, and engaging" - Carrie Sampson, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, International Social Science Review "The book is essential to any economic anthropologist reflecting on the role of the discipline and its relationship to other social sciences. Chibnik ably answers these questions and provides a complex introduction to how economic anthropologists go about their studies.The author's research experience and his thorough understanding of economic anthropology become evident in the book, which accurately portrays the sins scholars from both sides are tempted to commit." - Social Anthropology/Anthropologie Sociale
Michael Chibnik is Professor of Anthropology at the University of Iowa and the editor of the Anthropology of Work Review. His previous books include Crafting Tradition: The Making and Marketing of Oaxacan Wood Carvings and Risky Rivers: The Economics and Politics of Floodplain Farming in Amazonia.
