手册包含不同的反思economic turmoil of 2008 and the austerity that followed. Containing 35 newly commissioned chapters from important scholars in the field, it covers the nature of work and the changing ways people think about it, as stable jobs give way to short term work and the platform economy, as well as the expansion of the financial sector and efforts to control it. Chapters further explore social reproduction, the maintenance and regeneration of households and social relations over time, as well as the increasing concern with value, morality and ethics, both as things that motivate people and as policy orientations.
This will be a critical read for academic anthropologists looking for a state-of-the-art and thorough reference work for this key area of the discipline. Economic sociologists and geographers, as well as heterodox economists will also benefit from the broad range of empirical work and theoretical standpoints explored.

Critical Acclaim
‘A Handbook of Economic Anthropology accomplishes that rare feat of surveying the state-of-the-art in the field while also pushing the boundaries of research with new ideas and interpretations. The essays are compelling in their own right, but together they provide a comprehensive look at economic anthropology today and point the way for future work.’
