RECIPROCITY IN HUMAN SOCIETIES - ANTTI KUJALA M...

Presenting new insights into reciprocity  this book combines Marcel Mauss's well-known gift
theory with Barrington Moore's idea of mutual obligations linking rulers and the ruled. Teasing
out the interrelatedness of these approaches  Reciprocity in Human Societies suggests that
evolutionary psychology reveals a human tendency for reciprocity and collaboration  not only in
a mutually cooperative way but also through increasing retributive moral emotions. The book
discusses various historical societies and the different models of the current welfare
state-Nordic (social democratic)  conservative  and liberal- and the repercussions of the
neoliberal policies of tax havens  tax cuts  and austerity with a cross-disciplinary approach
that bridges evolutionary psychology  sociology  and social anthropology with history.
