Resumo
In his anthropological manifesto in this issue, Marshall Sahlins argues that our main theories of 'economic determinism' represent a self‐consciousness of modern capitalist societies masquerading as the science of others. He suggests that, in the great majority of societies known to anthropology and history, power consists in the direct control of people, from which comes the ability to accumulate wealth, rather than control of their means of livelihood, of capital wealth, from which comes the control of people.
