For roughly 99% of their existence on earth Homo sapiens lived in small bands of semi-nomadic hunter-gatherers 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 ever-present possibility of global annihilation — would be inconceivable to these traditional immediate-return societies. In fact hunter-gatherer 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 hunter-gatherer society and lifestyle from a variety of perspectives. It provides a brief introduction to the rich anthropological and sociological literature on non-agricultural societies bringing together in one volume seminal writings on the few remaining hunter-gatherer 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.
