Abstract
It came and went in the blink of an eye and what seemed like a brilliant future for Marxist Anthropology in the mid‐1970s now lies in a grave of dead‐ended approaches bearing the epitaph ‘Political Economy’—the sign which for Marx summed up all that was critically in error in capitalist and capitalizing analysis, hence his sub‐title toCapital, “A Critique of Political Economy.”This publication has 46 references indexed in Scilit:
