将欧洲和亚洲想象成同等的“大陆”，长期以来一直被认为是西方或欧美世界观的民族中心主义基石。欧亚大陆的混合体通过强调近千年来整个大陆不断增强的相互联系来纠正这种偏见。本文以杰克·古迪和其他人的工作为基础，分析了旧世界文明多样性中的统一性。它借鉴了卡尔波兰尼的实体主义经济人类学，假设古代农业帝国的经济嵌入理想与二十世纪各种形式的社会主义之间存在连续性。今天，当世界各地的人类经济再次受到市场的支配时，欧亚辩证法具有普遍的意义。然而，对泛欧亚亲缘关系的认识和实现仍然受到地缘政治的阻碍，社会文化人类学要克服其大西洋偏见还有很长的路要走。
To imagine Europe and Asia as constituting equivalent “continents” has long been recognized as the ethnocentric cornerstone of a Western, or Euro-American, world view. The amalgam Eurasia corrects this bias by highlighting the intensifying interconnectedness of the entire landmass in recent millennia. This article builds on the work of Jack Goody and others to analyze the unity-in-civilizational-diversity of the Old World. It draws on the substantivist economic anthropology of Karl Polanyi to postulate continuities between ancient ideals of economic embeddedness in the agrarian empires and various forms of socialism in the twentieth century. Today, when the human economy everywhere is again exposed to the domination of the market, the Eurasian dialectic has universal relevance. However, recognition and realization of pan-Eurasian affinities continues to be impeded by geopolitics, and sociocultural anthropology has a long way to go to overcome its Atlantic bias.
