‘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.’
