Reading Notes on the “New Economic Anthropology”
of François Régis Mahieu
Abstract
This note review is the translated and edited version of an article previously published in French. Our aim is to examine the “New Economic Anthropology” by François Régis Mahieu. Régis’s book analyzes the decline of economic anthropology and advocates for integrating it with traditional economics, proposing an evolution beyond the homo economicus model to address present challenges. The author promotes a holistic understanding of human economic behavior by integrating anthropological and economic approaches. The research investigates how economic anthropology can contribute to our understanding and resolution of present-day economic problems. In the current economic landscape, this revised article emphasizes the importance of Mahieu’s ideas.
Keywords: Mahieu, economic anthropology, homo economicus, traditional economy
