Abstract

While interest in economic anthropology grows rapidly, the creation of a widely accepted theoretical framework is impeded by the persistence-indeed, intensification-of disputes over conceptual issues. Part I of this paper clarifies the issues and explains why controversy persists. Part II attempts to reconcile opposing views by showing how the several different topics that comprise economic anthropology require different sets of analytical and measurement concepts for their fruitful investigation. Part III considers the recent extension of economic anthropology to processes of socio-economic change, growth, and development in communities undergoing "modernization."
