Summary:

This book explores the socio-economic dynamics of reciprocity, debt, and exchange within the community of Pesillo in the Ecuadorian Andes. Drawing from anthropological and ethnographic research conducted between 1993 and 1997, the author examines traditional practices such as barter, the moral implications of economic transactions, and the cultural significance of festivals like San Juan and Finados. The work critiques Western economic models and highlights alternative conceptions of economy rooted in cultural and historical contexts. It aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of indigenous economic practices and advocate for diversity amidst global homogenization. The book is intended for scholars and readers interested in anthropology, economic sociology, and Andean studies. Generated by AI.
