Marshall Sahlins's Stone Age Economics, a Semicentenary H-Announce Marshall Sahlins’s Stone Age Economics, a Semicentenary Estimate Announcement published by Federica Morelli on Thursday, June 6, 2019 Type: Call for Papers Date: November 30, 2019 Location: Italy Subject Fields: Anthropology, Economic History / Studies, Intellectual History, Social Sciences In 1972, American anthropologist Marshall Sahlins published Stone Age Economics. Now a classic of modern anthropology, and probably the most important work in economic anthropology, the book had a profound and critical impact on many different social sciences. From the identification and original use of the category of the mode of production to the idea of primitive affluence; from a vision of exchanges as defined also, and decisively, by their social terms to an illuminating interpretation of Mauss’s The Gift as the discover of the non-contractual element of the social contract; from the development of a cultural perspective on the economy and the alternative it provided to the economicism of formalist anthropology, with the proposal of an “anthropological economics”; the surprising modernity of Stone Age Economics provides social scientists with extremely fertile and inspiring ideas and approaches, whose continuing relevance is beyond dispute. On the occasion of the 50th anniversary, theAnnals of the Fondazione Luigi Einaudi. An Interdisciplinary Journal of Economics, History and Political Science (http://www.annalsfondazioneluigieinaudi.it/en) will host a monographic issue on Marshall Sahlins’s Stone Age Economics (“A Semicentenary Estimate”), to be published in 2021. The mission of the Annals of the Fondazione Luigi Einaudi (which builds upon the tradition of cultural openness fostered by the Fondazione Luigi Einaudi di Torino, established in 1964 by the scholar of political theory at Cornell University Mario Einaudi, with the support of the family of economist and former President of the Italian Republic Luigi Einaudi) is to contribute to promote interdisciplinarity as a method of scientific inquiry and a highly relevant issue in social sciences. It aims at facilitating communication and interdisciplinary discourse among both established international scholars and younger scholars working in different fields of social sciences. The enormous importance ofStone Age Economics for social sciences as a whole makes it particularly suitable for an interdisciplinary discussion of the kind of those the Annals are intended to host. The special issue will include invited articles by leading scholars in anthropology and other social sciences – Sahlins himself will contribute with a paper – as well as peer-reviewed works received through this call for papers. Papers are therefore solicited across a range of disciplines – including anthropology, sociology, economics, philosophy, history, political science, and international relations.

    Annu. Rev. Anthropol. 1999. 28:i–xxiii Copyright © 1999 by Annual Reviews. All rights reserved WHAT IS ANTHROPOLOGICAL ENLIGHTENMENT? Some Lessons of the Twentieth Century Marshall Sahlins Department of Anthropology, University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois 60637; e-mail: [email protected] Key Words: modernity, indigenization, translocality, culture, development n Abstract A broad reflection on some of the major surprises to anthropo- logical theory occasioned by the history, and in a number of instances the tenac- ity, of indigenous cultures in the twentieth century. We are not leaving the cen- tury with the same ideas that got us there. Contrary to the inherited notions of progressive development, whether of the political left or right, the surviving victims of imperial capitalism neither became all alike nor just like us. Contrary to the “despondency theory” of mid-century, the logical and historical precursor of dependency theory, surviving indigenous peoples aim to take cultural re- sponsibility for what has been done to them. Across large parts of northern North America, even hunters and gatherers live, largely by hunting and gather- ing. The Eskimo are still there, and they are still Eskimo. Around the world the peoples give the lie to received theoretical oppositions between tradition and change, indigenous culture and modernity, townsmen and tribesmen, and other clichés of the received anthropological wisdom. Reports of the death of indige- nous cultures—as of the demise of anthropology—have been exaggerated.

  • The Original Affluent Society Was None Other Than the Hunter's - in Which All the People's Material Wants Were Easily Satisfied
    Out of Date This website has not been updated for some years. This website has been left as it may still contain useful content. The Original Affluent Society -by Marshall Sahlins Hunter-gatherers Hunter-gatherers consume less energy per capita per year than any other group of human beings. Yet when you come to examine it the original affluent society was none other than the hunter's - in which all the people's material wants were easily satisfied. To accept that hunters are affluent is therefore to recognise that the present human condition of man slaving to bridge the gap between his unlimited wants and his insufficient means is a tragedy of modern times. There are two possible courses to affluence. Wants may be "easily satisfied" either by producing much or desiring little The familiar conception, the Galbraithean way- based on the concept of market economies- states that man's wants are great, not to say infinite, whereas his means are limited, although they can be improved. Thus, the gap between means and ends can be narrowed by industrial productivity, at least to the point that "urgent goods" become plentiful. But there is also a Zen road to affluence, which states that human material wants are finite and few, and technical means unchanging but on the whole adequate. Adopting the Zen strategy, a people can enjoy an unparalleled material plenty - with a low standard of living. That, I think, describes the hunters. And it helps explain some of their more curious economic behaviour: their "prodigality" for example- the inclination to consume at once all stocks on hand, as if they had it made.

  • Hunter-Gatherers: Insights from a Golden Affluent
    INSPIRATION ON SUSTAINABILITY Hunter-gatherers Insights from a golden affluent age Hunter-gatherers have few possessions and are the lowest energy consumers, reports MARSHALL SAHLINS, yet they are the original affluent society with material needs easily met in a few short hours a week. Paradoxically, in the 21st century’s market economy, an era of the greatest technical power, a billion people are starving and people struggle to bridge the gap between unlimited wants and insufficient means. Scarcity and anxiety define our economy, while the hunters’ confident trust in nature’s abundance signals their success. Hunter-gatherers consume less energy per person also bourgeois ethnocentrism.

  • Eric Robert Wolf 1923-1999
    ERIC ROBERT WOLF 1923-1999 A Biographical Memoir by CONRAD PHILLIP KOTTAK © 2012 The National Academy of Sciences Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. ERIC WOLF ERIC ROBERT WOLF February 1, 1923–March 6, 1999 BY CONRAD PHILLIP KOTTAK Eric Robert Wolf, an Austrian-born sociocultural anthropologist, was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1995. Wolf’s lifelong fascination with cultural diversity can be traced to his childhood in multilingual Vienna and his 1 teen years in multiethnic Sudetenland, where his Austrian father (his mother was Russian) ran a textile factory prior to the 1938 Nazi takeover. To avoid persecu- tion as Jews, Wolf and his family moved first to England and then to the United States, where they settled in Jackson Heights, Queens, New York. WOLF IN NEW YORK: QUEENS AND COLUMBIA In 1940 Wolf enrolled at Queens College, where he planned to study biochemis- try. That plan changed when an early anthropology course exposed him to a field that encompassed his interests in culture, history, ethnicity, and the gamut of human experience. His mentor at Queens was Hortense Powdermaker. uring World War II, Wolf deferred his college educa- tion for three years Dto serve with the U.S. Army in the Italian Alps, where he would later return for anthropological field- work in 1960 (1974). Returning from combat duty, Wolf resumed his studies at Queens. He received his undergraduate degree from the Department of Anthropology and Sociology in spring 1946.

  • Notes and References
    Notes and References 1. Introduction 1. Seasonal variation and the division of labour among hunter-gatherers receives detailed attention in Chapter 5 (see also Condon, 1983). The particular point in this passage comes from the ethnographie film entitled People ofthe Seal, by Asen Balikci (see also Balikci, 1970). The famous Northwest Coast potlatch does not receive detailed treatment in this book, but some traditional analyses as weIl as new findings should be mentioned. Some traditional sources include: Boas, 1897, 1966; Drucker, 1955, 1965; DeLaguna, 1972; Oberg, 1973; Sapir and Swadesh, 1939; Codere, 1950; Mitchell and Donald, 1988. The fact that post-contact Northwest Coast economies encompass a complex mix of organisational features is documented by Donald (1984) and Mitchell 1984 (see also Isaac, 1988). The literature on the Trobriand Islands is substantial. The specific reference here is to Bronislaw Malinowski, Argonauts of the Western Pacifie (1922) and Coral Gardens and Their Magie (1935); see also Uberoi (1962). For material on the Dani see Karl Heider (1979). Barbara Myerhoff's book, Number Dur Days (1978), is the reference for the elderly Californian. On the Mudurucu see Murphy and Murphy (1974). The description ofthe Mexican grand­ mother's multiple roles is in Friedlander (1976). 2. Patch exploitation refers to optimal foraging models of hunter-gatherer economies. I deal more extensively with elements of optimal foraging models in Chapter 4. Discussions of classical political economy (Adam Smith and others) and of marginal utility economics (Alfred Marshall and others), I leave to the historians of economic thought. I elaborate the meaning of the concept of institution in the discussion of the institutional paradigm in Chapter 3.
