ECONOMICS AND SOCIAL-ANTHROPOLOGY - RECONCILING DIFFERENCES

This paper is the outcome of collaborative work between an economist a nd a social anthropologist. It explores the differences of outlook and approach between these two subjects, both in general, and in the spec ific context of a research project, ''The Management of Cooperative St rategies,'' which tests economistic hypotheses using methods largely d erived from social anthropology. There remain major dissonanaces betwe en the two subjects, but an attempt is made here to find fruitful comm on ground.
