Subjective Lives and Economic Transformations in Mongolia - Life in the Gap

Rebecca M. Empson

Summary

This is the first book to document how women are formed as subjects in
the extractivist-economy of Mongolia. It manages to articulate very current
  theoretical themes (e.g. temporality) with larger, long-standing social
  scientific questions such as subjectivity.
  
 


The
  structure of the manuscript is easily accessible and the prose is clear,
  making this a work that would be appropriate for both undergraduate students
  in anthropology and more advanced readers with expertise in economic
  anthropology or, beyond the discipline, an interest in the region.The book does what anthropologists do
best, namely, tell a story about 'big' political and economic processes,
phenomena and events through the lens of local lives.

Making Money Hand Over Fist -...

L. David Harris

Todays 'free-market' philosophy of one-dollar-one-vote has all but eclipsed the traditional one-person-one-vote values of our grandparents’ generations. Our democratic and humanitarian concepts of 'all for one, one for all' and 'we're all in this together' have all but vanished. It's not my intention to start a political discussion about the rights and wrongs of national or international fiscal policies. I do not wish to delve into the wheeler-dealing of money markets and the distribution of corporate wealth.Nope. That is not what this book is about. Nevertheless, I will challenge the statement that 'Greed is good.' And by so doing, explain how I believe we can all, on a very personal level, benefit from a philosophy that is quite the opposite. Indeed, I am going to show you how generosity expedites wealth creation. But to do that, first we need to understand what generosity is.
