Risk‐Seeking Peasants, Excessive Artisans
Thomas Friedman (referencing Harvard economist Lawrence Katz) declared that the economic future for the United States meant that “everyone today has to be an artisan” ( The New York Times , October 23, 2010). But what does it mean to be an artisan in a globalized world? This article suggests that artisan economies may involve high levels of risk and excess, frustrating the search for economic justice and more equitable opportunities. Fieldwork wi…

Ugly Stories of the Peruvian Agrarian Reform by Enrique Mayer
Yaqui Homeland and Homeplace
Economic Clusters or Cultural Commons
We examine here two Ecuadorian towns and the state's efforts to support their development through competitiveness initiatives.

Whereas competition requires individual know-how, competitive advantage often involves cooperating to improve the underlying factors t…
Countering Development
Ecuadorian Apparel, Apparently Global
Disappearing Act
Since the 1990s, many countries have jettisoned a focus on economic development in favor of promoting markets and market efficiency. Much has been written on the influence of these neo-liberal economic policies and the linked idea of globalization. Less noticed is that this shift from a developmentalist ideology to neo-liberal reform has often been paired with an ideology that casts the state as neutral with respect to race, ethnicity, and even n…
Inverting Development Discourse in Colombia
In the 1990s, 60 percent of the households in Tuquerres, a highland town in Colombia's southwestern Andes, bought their first gas range for cooking. The residents frame their purchases as a manifestation of "development" and "modernization," saying the ranges are more economico, rapido, and limpio-terms readily translated as economic, fast, and clean. However, the spread of gas ranges by independent initiative inverts a top-down model of developm…
