Beskrivning
The idea of culture has become a creative framework in Marshall Islanders’ quest to realise a community based on communality, meaningful work, and self-reliance. These values are consciously pitted against selfishness, wage-labour, and money dependency, which are values commonly deemed to belong to the realm of “the economy”. Culturing Money analyses what sort of conceptual and practical work that the dialectics of culture and economy can do for Marshall Islanders in their quest for a meaningful life where self-reliance is the ultimate goal.

“This is an unusually brilliant contribution to general anthropological theory. It is clearly argued and brings back the concept of culture in engagement with material and social practices in a way that makes it highly relevant to anthropologists at large.” • Ingjerd Hoëm, Professor, Department of Social Anthropology, University of Oslo
