Course contents :
|
| This course will first present currents of thought that have been influential in the history of economic anthropology during the 20th century. Secondly, we will deal with exchange, consumption, and production by taking academic debates on these topics as a point of departure. After having studied these three classic themes, we will analyse more recent topics such as entrepreneurship, moral economies, or economic trust. |
