Volume 40 of Research in Economic Anthropology explores current issues
in national and international policy, cost and debt, business and
capitalism, and economic theory and behavior specifically pertaining
to Brazil. The underlying theme running through the collection is the
steady encroachment of neoliberalism into economic policy and
practice, and the impact this has had on everyday ways of life. In
Part I, Raja Swamy explores post-disaster relocation and livelihood
issues in Nagapattinam, Tamil Nadu, India, Anthony Rausch and
Junichiro Koji investigate Japan’s Hometown Tax Donation Program,
and Emma Gilberthorpe argues for development plans that incorporate
indigenous people’s needs and worldviews. In Part II, Vassily
Pigounides empirically analyzes a revenue management system
originating in France, Irene Sabaté Muriel looks at the moral economy
of mortgage lending and economic reasoning during the housing bubble
that rocked Spain when it burst in 2007, and Mathias Krabbe explores
debt among US college students. In Part III, Ieva Snikersproge
examines a French worker cooperative ice cream venture, Andres Gramajo
quantitively measures the strength of capitalist thought among
business owners in Latin America, and Michal Stein and John Vertovec
explore individual action in the transitional economy in Havana’s
tourist-oriented dance instruction world. In Part IV, Sidney
Greenfield theorizes on two coexisting but disjunct patterns of
behavior in Brazil, which give rise to tension, corruption
allegations, and public scandals, and Guilherme Falleiros analyzes the
structural shifts between global capitalism and indigenous ways of
life in the same country.
