Money Counts

Reviews / Votes

"The book points to a domain of research that is still understudied by anthropologists, and is thus a stimulation to explore it further." * Anthropological Forum



"This is a compelling collection that contributes rich case studies and sharp theoretical insights for more serious anthropological attention to money, number, and calculation." * Anthropos



"This compact collection focuses on money as number, seen from a wide range of perspectives. The style is impressively dialectical, offering hope that anthropologists may soon be open to more promising ways of engaging with money." * Keith Hart, University of Pretoria



"Why do anthropologists get so uncomfortable when it comes to working with (and on) numbers? This book provides answers and exemplifies what a quantity-embracing, yet ethnographically rich, economic anthropology can look like." * Stefan Leins, University of Konstanz
