Reviews for Subsistence Under Capitalism
"Subsistence under Capitalism presents an extremely useful, timely, and integrated challenge to dominant economic thought and to the different, and largely ingrained, dichotomies that surround subsistence and market activities. As a collection, this book fills a critical gap in the literature of a still emerging field of scholarly research." - Lenore Newman, University of the Fraser Valley
