New commentary on anthropology, economics and finance

I just published my commentary on Caroline E. Schuster’s excellent new article Politics of pools in Current Anthropology. See the commentary here.

This exchange was a part of a project organized by Gustav Peebles, Richard McGahey, Teresa Ghilarducci and Danilyn Rutherford and it culminated in two special issues, one in Current Anthropology (see here) and one in Review of Political Economy (see here), where each anthropology article comes with a commentary by an economist and vice versa. The overarching theme for all the contributions is Scarcity and Abundance in an Unequal World. In my contribution to ROPE, I partnered with an actual anthropologist to write The Hierarchies of Global Finance: An Anti-Disciplinary Research Agenda.
