Barter, Exchange And Value: An Anthropological Approach

This novel treatment of barter represents an original and topical addition to the literature on economic anthropology. It aims to show that barter is not just and inefficient means of exchange, or mere haggling, but is a mode of exchange with its own social characteristics, occupying a specific moral space.
