studies, tend to take a highly politicized view of the processes of cultural change at stake in the 'enterprising up' of Britain, anthropology retains a greater capacity for 'thickly descriptive' accounts, touching on deeper levels of the production of cultural meanings. Particularly Marilyn Strathern's account of the effects of the market analogy on beliefs about conception and procreation brought out the strengths of this approach, in accessing levels of cultural meaning often left untouched by other disciplines. Most significantly, the anthropological presentations to the conference clearly demonstrated the wide scope for anthropological questioning of the enterprise culture, and its relevance to long-standing concerns of the discipline.
