<p>"This is a 'big book', tackling big questions in deceptively simple prose."<br /><b><i>Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute</i></b></p> <p>"Both authors draw on their considerable ethnographic experience to offer a rich run-through of economic anthropology, and trace its intersection between the primary disciplines of economics and anthropology and against thematic currents such as Marxism and feminism."<br /><i><b>LSE Review of Books</b></i></p> <p>"Educational and intellectually stimulating, it will benefit both economic sociologists and economists."<br /><i><b>Revue Française de Socio-économie</b></i></p> <p>"Offers a methodological and analytic platform which could make this field more relevant for policy making, create a more fruitful dialogue with economics, economic sociology and history, and make scholarly work more accessible to the wider public."<br /><b><i>European Economic Sociology Newsletter</i></b></p> <p>"Hann and Hart offer the most sophisticated history of economic anthropology that I have seen. Using a humanistic perspective, their descriptions of the 'prehistory' of economic anthropology and of the socialist and postsocialist eras are neatly joined to an account of research in the twentieth century."<br />—<b>Stephen Gudeman, University of Minnesota</b></p> <p>"Now that neoliberal economic theories are becoming as discredited as state-socialist ones, Chris Hann and Keith Hart set out the case for 'human economics' focused on addressing both the moral and material needs of humanity - market as well as non-market. This is a brilliantly executed work which breathes new list into both disciplines - Anthropology and Economics. At a time when national and global economic thinking and policies seem moribund, this intervention could not be timlier."<br />—<b>Don Robotham, City University of New York</b></p>
