| description | Herein is a discourse on value and how economics fails as a science thereof by
banishing culture to the status of “exogenous factors.” The argument is demonstrated by an ethnographically informed study of the external origins of riches. Among the conclusions: money (“magical property”) as a means rather than the antithesis of extended kinship; scarcity as a function of value rather than the value of scarcity; and other such contradictions of the deceived wisdom. |

Este trabajo trata el tema del valor y de cómo la economía fracasa como ciencia del valor al desterrar la cultura al estatus de los “valores exógenos.” Esta tesis es demostrada recurriendo a un estudio de índole antropológica sobre el origen externo de la riqueza. Algunas de las conclusiones: el dinero (“propiedad mágica”) como un medio antes que como una antítesis del parentesco extendido; la rareza como función del valor antes que el valor como función de la rareza; y otras contradicciones de esta clase propias de la “sabiduría equivocada”. 2016-03-15 2022-03-15T19:49:42Z 2022-03-15T19:49:42Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion http://revistasacademicas.unsam.edu.ar/index.php/etnocontemp/article/view/396 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/25008 spa http://revistasacademicas.unsam.edu.ar/index.php/etnocontemp/article/view/396/368 application/pdf Instituto de Altos Estudios Sociales Etnografías Contemporáneas; Vol. 1 Núm. 1 (2015): Etnografías Contemporáneas 2451-8050 |
