17. Economies

For Intro to Anthropology 2021 we began the third and final unit by talking about humans as Meaning-Dependent Organisms. In this class we read:

Richard Borshay Lee, “Eating Christmas in the Kalahari.” Natural History (1969)
Chapter 11, “Why do anthropologists study economic relations?” (343-367)

After that we started reading about Politics.

Living Anthropologically means documenting history, interconnection, and power during a time of global transformation. We need to care for others as we attempt to build a world together. This blog is a personal project of Jason Antrosio, author of Fast, Easy, and In Cash: Artisan Hardship and Hope in the Global Economy.
