Bitcoin and the anthropology-economics divide
This guest editorial argues for renewed intellectual engagement between anthropology and economics, two disciplines that became estranged during 20th-century debates over human motivation and cooperation.

Contemporary anthropologis…

Cannibal Metaphysics*, by Eduardo Viveiros de Castro, raisesincontrovertibly the question of what cultural anthropology is—and what itshould be.

This article compares two paradigms of resistance to oppressive institutions by people affiliated…
