Abstract: Why has such an enormous gap developed between rich and poor countries of the world? Some have argued alternatively for differences in geography or environment, political or economic systems, or histories of exploitation. Cultural differences have also been a major explanation, and, given the central role of the culture concept in our discipline, anthropologists should be talking the lead in this discussion, but too often other scholars pick up where we fear to tread, as this book does.
