| Title | Ekonomika kamennogo veka |
| Description | Marshall Sahlins’s Stone Age Economics is one of the most important works of modern anthropology and established its author as a leading figure in the field soon after its first publication in 1972. Through an ambitious interpretation of economic activity as a cultural phenomenon, Sahlins radically reconsidered traditional assumptions about hunters and gatherers, primitive society, and the so-called subsistence economy as a whole. It was here that he formulated the idea of the “original affluent society”, a concept that became closely associated with his work and shaped anthropological debates for decades, eventually extending far beyond academia. Half a century later, the provocative suggestion that prehistoric people may in some respects have lived better without the benefits of modern civilisation continues to invite new arguments, evidence, and criticism. |
