Review:
"'His book is rich in factual evidence and in ideas.' - E. E. Evans-Pritchard, Times Literary Supplement; 'Sahlins's concept of the 'domestic mode of production' starts to give economic anthropology Its necessary comparative basis. That alone would make the book important.' - Mary Douglas; 'Sahlin's excellent book represents a brilliant extension of the Economic Anthropology established by Mauss.' - David Clarke"
