Modern Capitalist Culture, Abridged Edition, Paperback / softback Book

Modern Capitalist Culture, Abridged Edition Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

This lost classic by Leslie A. White represents twenty-five years of his scholarship on the anthropology of modern capitalism.

Drawing out his now classic formulations of social organization, cultural evolution, and the relationship between technology, ecology, and culture, this major theoretical work traces a vast expanse of history from the earliest forms of capitalism to the detailed inner workings of contemporary democratic institutions.

The abridged version of Modern Capitalist Culture delivers all of White’s major arguments in a clear and concise manner.

A substantial foreword by Burton J. Brown, Benjamin Urish, and Robert Carneiro both situates this posthumous work within the history of anthropological theory and shows its importance to contemporary debates within the discipline.
