5.0 out of 5 stars New Exciting Analysis!, April 16, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Inalienable Possessions: The Paradox of Keeping-While Giving (Paperback)
Annette Weiner does an amazing job with this book. For anyone interested in social relationships and economics, this book is for you. She reinterprets age-old anthropological data (upon which most current anthropology is based) with an entirely new focus. Rather than reciprocity being the foundation of society, the paradox of "keeping-while-giving" is what defines our social and economic lives, our histories, and our ancestries. She's bold and amazingly intelligent -- good work Annette!
