Document Summary
Paul bohannon: production, exchange, and consumption are studied in addition to decision- making, extraction of resources and organization of labor. By considering production (subsistence systems), distribution and consumption of goods/services, we can better understand all types of systems. The first scholar (anthropologist/archaeologist) to attempt a broad socio- economic analysis of the archaeology of the ancient world. Wrote about revolutions in human economics (ex. Neolithic revolution of plant/animal domestication which result to a settled village life. From this, he noted that the emergence of craft specialists and their variable roles in relations of production were central to an understanding of the interrelationship b/w socio-political complexity and eventually complex production systems. Invention and innovation = drivers of economic change (i. e. industrial revolution and digital revolution) Writing: organization of economic world: division of labor: in agriculture, it is not only complicated but very dynamic and subject to change (ex. ) African farming, field diagnostic study in uganda showed some patterns.
