This course is intended as an introduction to economic anthropology. In the first part we will look into the social and cultural dimension of production, exchange, credit and consumption. Ethnographic case from divers contexts (Madagarscar, India, Polynesia, Soviet Russia) will provide the anthropological approach to economic life. This will subsequently allow us to ask more general questions relating to economy in its various scales and historical dimensions: how do people understand debt or other money transfers? Do money make transactions more effective? What is the value of things and how does it relate to their trajectories? is there an economy of gifts?
