Money in a Human Economy

Beschreibung

Money is both a human universal and yet incredibly diverse, not one thing, but many The book combines ethnography, history, sociology and heterodox economics from multiple theoretical angles A human economy approach links people and their societies to the world; solutions to our main problems must be based on knowing what people do, think and want Although nationalism and globalization are often opposed today, the local is global and vice versa, while money and markets serve human purposes in ways that are normally hidden.
