Value and Worthlessness

Meer over het boek

Focusing on an interdisciplinary Marxist perspective, this work explores the interplay of history, theory, and global anthropology to uncover social dynamics shaped by value and worthlessness. It critiques contemporary populism and nationalism, linking these phenomena to broader global systems and financialization. The author engages with the theoretical contributions of notable anthropologists, examining the myths surrounding global middle-class formation and the implications of hidden histories for social understanding.
