Modern economic anthropology explores how diverse human societies produce, distribute, exchange, and consume resources, bridging the gap between cultural practices and economic behavior. Unlike traditional economics, economic anthropology emphasizes the role of culture, social relations, and historical context. This field provides a holistic view of economic systems that challenge broader economic models. Contemporary economic anthropologists also examine pressing global issues, like inequality, labor migration, and environmental sustainability, through an ethnographic lens, offering insights into how economic practices insert themselves into broader social and cultural frameworks. As globalization reshapes local economies and new forms of value emerge, modern economic anthropology remains a critical tool for understanding the complexities of human economic behavior. Examining Modern Economic Anthropology explores how economic activities are influenced by cultural values, social relationships, and historical contexts across different societies. It examines both traditional and modern systems of exchange, production, and consumption to understand the diversity and complexity of human economic behavior beyond market-based models. This book covers topics such as capitalism, political science, and sociology, and is a useful resource for economists, business owners, anthropologists, government officials, academicians, researchers, and political scientists.
