Primitive Polynesian Economy, Paperback / softback Book

Primitive Polynesian Economy Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

"Primitive Polynesian Economy is one of the first serious attempts to apply the concepts of modern economic theory to the institutions of a primitive community, studied by anthropological field methods.

In the small Polynesian island of Tikopia, Raymond Firth was able in the course of a year to observe and analyze in remarkable detail the economic transactions of the thirteen hundred inhabitants of a primitive peasant economy of agriculturalists and fishermen.

For the second edition, he has written a new chapter discussing the changes that have taken place since the book was first published.
