Ancient Andean Political Economy
Autor Charles Stanishen Limba Engleză Paperback – apr 2011
Stanish builds his arguments around a case study from the Moquequa region of Peru, augmented with data from Puno. He uses the "archaeological household" as his basic unit of analysis. This approach allows him to reconcile the now-classic model of zonal complementarity proposed by John Murra with the model of craft specialization and exchange offered by Maria Rostworowski de Diez Canseco. These models of political economy are analyzed with the concepts of economic anthropology in the tradition of Karl Polanyi.
For students of archaeology, Andean studies, anthropology, and economic history, Ancient Andean Political Economy will be important reading.

Recenzii
A concise, well-written book that proposes a new methodology for exploring the nature of prehistoric political economies of the ancient Andes .... Perhaps Stanish's most important contribution rests on his insistence that prehistoric political economies of whatever kind can only be understood if we first gain a precise control on household economic data.
Topically, the book will be of interest to prehistorians interested in defining colonial situations. and in household-unit analyses; regionally, the book will be of importance to Andeanists, particularly those working in the south-central Andes.
