For roughly 99% of their existence on earth, Homo sapiens lived in small bands of seminomadic huntergatherers, finding everything they needed to survive and thrive in the biological richness that surrounded them. Most if not all of the problems that threaten our own technologically advanced society from depletion of natural capital to the everpresent possibility of global annihilation would be inconceivable to these traditional, immediatereturn societies. In fact, huntergatherer societies appear to have solved problems of production, distribution, and social and environmental sustainability that our own culture seems incapable of addressing.Limited Wants, Unlimited Means examines the huntergatherer society and lifestyle from a variety of perspectives. It provides a brief introduction to the rich anthropological and sociological literature on nonagricultural societies, bringing together in one volume seminal writings on the few remaining huntergatherer cultures including, the !Kung, the Hadza, and the Aborigines. It examines the economics of traditional societies, and concludes with a multifaceted investigation of how such societies function and what they can teach us in our own quest for environmental sustainability and social equality.Limited Wants, Unlimited Means is an important work for students of cultural anthropology, economic anthropology, environmental studies, and sustainable development, as well as for professionals, researchers, and anyone interested in prehistoric societies, environmental sustainability, or social justice.
