Product Description
This lost classic by famous anthropological theorist Leslie A. White, published now for the first time, represents twenty-five years of his scholarship on the anthropology of modern capitalism. Drawing out his now classic formulations of social organization, cultural evolution, and the relationship between technology, ecology, and culture, this major theoretical work traces a vast expanse of history from the earliest forms of capitalism to the detailed inner workings of contemporary democratic institutions. A substantial foreword by Burton J. Brown, Benjamin Urish, and Robert Carneiro both situates this posthumous work within the history of anthropological theory and shows its importance to contemporary debates within the discipline.

Their is reason why this manuscript was never published, it should have been left alone in the box @ special collections
1) this is a rehash of all the history books White has read..biblio points that out and he doesn't hide it
2) I wonder if these 3 editors even read the book... nope
ex. ch 8 jungle capitalism pg 192. last paragraph (Clew, 1908, p149 [reference unknown])
On page 219 White states Henry Clews Fifety Years in Wall Street
