Abstract

I am not an anthropologist in any way, shape, form, or fashion. This is why I could not muster enough influence and traction to recruit or seduce a real, qualified, ­honest-to-goodness anthropologist to collaborate with an appropriate chapter in this volume. However, I did not think that this volume would be complete without a chapter in this discipline and other disciplines originally overlooked, such as ­economics (Chap. 6). Consequently, I had to make do, with the help of Karen Viars, to find whatever I could by cross-indexing paradigms within anthropological paradigms and theories.
