Marshall Sahlins's Stone Age Economics is one of the most important books in modern anthropology, immediately establishing its author as a master after its first publication in 1972. By undertaking an ambitious interpretation of the nature of economic activity as a cultural phenomenon, Sahlins radically revised traditional notions not only of hunters and gatherers but also of prehistoric societies and the so-called subsistence economy in general. It was here that Sahlins discovered the "primitive affluent society"—a concept that became his hallmark in anthropology and defined the horizon of debates for decades to come, long transcending academic boundaries. But, as it was half a century ago, the hypothesis that prehistoric peoples might have lived better without the benefits of modern civilization remains provocative, prompting a search for new confirmations or refutations.
