比较和批判，人类学和经济学提供了一个独特的跨文化的经济观点。本书以市场和非市场情况为例，展示了经济是如何建立在五个日益抽象的领域上的，从住宅到社区、商业、金融和元金融。在这些领域中，经济融合了自利理性与社会关系的相互关系之间的紧张关系。即使在理性过程占主导地位的情况下，比如在市场中，经济也依赖于社交性和仪式来运作，无论是任人唯亲、向神祈祷，还是广告的神奇劝说。利用人类学和经济学的数据和概念，本书论述了财富不平等、资源枯竭和环境破坏，特别是在资本主义中，提供了对它们的持久性和控制它们的想法的理解。鉴于最近的金融危机，古德曼对这场危机提出了不同的理解，并提出了实现更大经济稳定的建议。
Comparative and critical, Anthropology and Economy offers a uniquely cross-cultural view of economy. Using examples from market and non-market situations, the book shows how economies are built on five increasingly abstract spheres, from the house to community, commerce, finance, and meta-finance. Across these spheres, economy incorporates a tension between self-interested rationality and the mutuality of social relationships. Even when rational processes predominate, as in markets, economies rely on sociability and ritual to operate, whether as cronyism, pleas to divinities or the magical persuasions of advertising. Drawing on data and concepts from anthropology and economics, the book addresses wealth inequality, resource depletion, and environmental devastation especially in capitalism, providing an understanding of their persistence and ideas for controlling them. Given the recent financial crash, Gudeman offers a different understanding of the crisis and suggestions for achieving greater economic stability.
