"How Exactly Are Peasants "Exploited
We are very frequently told that peasants are exploited without being told what exactly this means, whether peasant exploitation is confined to peasants, or whether the word exploitation is meant to convey different meanings for different societies. This paper discusses two meanings of exploitation, neither of which relates uniquely to peasantry, and poses specific questions about "exploitation" and "surplus," the answers to which would tell us a…

Peasantries in Anthropology and History [and Comments and Replies]
This paper describes three sequential stages of West European peasantry (feudal, early modern, late modern) in order to establish a basis for comparison with the peasantries currently studied by anthropologists in Third World countries (almost all of which are in the early stage of economic development and cultural modernization). The village-community peasantries of the Third World may be regarded either as varying mixtures of tribal and some st…

The Ritual Killing of the Irish Kings
IT was suggested many years ago by Macalister1 that a custom of ritual killing of the kings of Tara prevailed in pagan times. Such practices are of course well known to have happened in other countries, and their occurrence in Ireland would be in no way surprising. Nevertheless, Macalister's suggestion met with little support, and has indeed been almost forgotten. This is no doubt because the evidence he brought forward was rather slight. On a re…

Theoretical Issues in Economic Anthropology
This article examines the relationship between economics and anthropology, arguing for a more integrated approach to understanding economic behavior. Dalton challenges the conventional neoclassical economic model, which assumes universal rationality and utility maximization, and proposes that economic systems are embedded within specific social and cultural contexts. He explores various theoretical issues, including the nature of primitive and pe…

History, Politics, and Economic Development in Liberia
American and European economists who work in the least developed countries of Africa, Asia, or the Middle East sometimes come away with the feeling of having learned more than they imparted. Nor is this surprising: the minds of economists are often more receptive to development than are the exotic economies in which they now work. In considering problems of underdevelopment and processes of development we learn—inadvertently, as it were—new thing…
"On Dalton's "Theoretical Issues in Economic Anthropology
Economics, Economic Development, and Economic Anthropology
This article explores the intersection of economics, economic development, and economic anthropology. Dalton argues that conventional economics, focused on market exchange and maximization principles, struggles to adequately explain economic behavior in non-market societies. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the social and cultural embeddedness of economic activities in these contexts. The article highlights the contributions of econo…

Economic Surplus, Once Again
Economics in African Studies
At universities with Programs of African Studies, the question arises how best to train graduate students in economics who intend to specialize in African economic development: which particular fields within the corpus of pure and applied economics should be stressed, and which other subjects should be added which are not included in traditional economics curricula? The answer depends upon one's judgment of what African development consists of an…
