The meaning that people attribute to things necessarily derives from human transactions and motivations, particularly from how those things are used and circulated. The contributors to this volume examine how things are sold and traded in a variety of social and cultural settings, both present and past. Focusing on culturally defined aspects of exchange and socially regulated processes of circulation, the essays illuminate the ways in which people find value in things and things give value to social relations. By looking at things as if they lead social lives, the authors provide a new way to understand how value is externalized and sought after. They discuss a wide range of goods - from oriental carpets to human relics - to reveal both that the underlying logic of everyday economic life is not so far removed from that which explains the circulation of exotica, and that the distinction between contemporary economies and simpler, more distant ones is less obvious than has been thought. As the editor argues in his introduction, beneath the seeming infinitude of human wants, and the apparent multiplicity of material forms, there in fact lie complex, but specific, social and political mechanisms that regulate taste, trade, and desire.
Containing contributions from American and British social anthropologists and historians, the volume bridges the disciplines of social history, cultural anthropology, and economics, and marks a major step in our understanding of the cultural basis of economic life and the sociology of culture. It will appeal to anthropologists, social historians, economists. archaeologists, and historians of art.

剛開始看沒讀懂，後來經過Joe點撥似懂非懂，這本書處理的關鍵問題是價值是如何産生的；與馬剋思主義認為的勞動創造價值不同，本書作者們告訴我們交換過程也産生瞭價值。

评分The most recommended part is its intro. Retracing to Marxian style of production of commodities, the author concerns more about its consumption and circulations in capitalism. The roughly three dimensions,namely the diversion, demand and knowledge, have been complemented to the new pattern of explaining the emergence of industrialization.
评分馬剋思與齊美爾的分歧並不是一個強調生産一個強調交換，而是齊美爾隻對商品的體驗或錶象感興趣，因此他談論的交換也隻是這些體驗與錶象的交換。阿帕杜萊也是這樣，他把價值和交換看作是純然“文化”的東西。這種價值更像是索緒爾語言學中的價值（差異），因此是可以被協商閤意消解掉的，客觀上是對經濟學等價交換原則的補充。
评分真應該早點重視這本書
