Money, culture, and power are intertwined. The production of wealth and its distribution are shaped by and influence our worldview, institutions, and social relationships. Using the tools of anthropology, such as ethnography, cross-cultural comparison, and an evolutionary (historical) perspective, this course offers a holistic analysis of how human societies extract, produce, exchange, and distribute resources, from the earliest times to the present.
