Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review" A fundamental challenge to established stereotypes of the Andean economy, this book will lead to a rethinking of received ideas. Including work by many of the leading scholars in the field, it will be obligatory reading for those interested in indigenous history and anthropology. It offers a different perspective on the economy by focusing on the indigenous population, and demonstrates conclusively how the Indians succeeded in linking their complex traditional systems with the new opportunities offered by expanded markets."—Nathan Wachtel, College de France
"This is an impressive collection of essays [and] a fundamental reference book in Andean studies."—Walter Mignolo, Duke University
