It's been a long time since I read this book as a an economics/anthropology student, but it had a big impact on me. The essays are diverse and provide plenty of food for thought. The essays also shred pop-culture stone age myths about everything from longevity to the status of women. You can read one of the essays for free online- the seminal The Original Affluent Society by Marshall Sahlins.
