Book Synopsis
This book reexamines the structure of Inca society on the eve of the Spanish Conquest. The author argues that native Andean cosmology organized the indigenous political economy as well as spatial and socio-kinship systems.

Trade Review
"This is an excellent and thought-provoding book, one that challenges the reader to reassess preconceptions of the nature of Inca religion, the characteristics of Inca leaders, the reason for the polity's rapid expansion, and the foundations of its economic structure." -Noble David Cook, Florida International University
