At a time of rising global economic precarity and social inequality, the field of economic anthropology offers solutions through the study of local and contextualized economic practices. This book is made up of an exciting collection of succinct essays authored by leading scholars primarily from the field of economic anthropology, but also featuring contributions from sociology and history. The chapters engage with debates at the cutting edge of research on the topics of Eurasia, the anthropology of postsocialism and the embeddedness of economic practices.
“The volume offers an appreciable contribution, especially for those who are new to economic anthropology since it presents key concepts and debates of contemporary anthropology and offers a privileged access point to this field…[It] keeps the promise of its title representing an accessible repertoire of reflections capable of highlighting an important segment of the recent development of economic anthropology.”• Anthropos
“This is an impressive collection of essays that spans a huge array of themes, topics, writing styles and historical periods… The volume as a whole brings up lively conversations about a variety of themes in economic anthropology, and groups of the contributions can be used for class teaching on particular themes.”• Minh Nguyen, Bielefeld University
