Hi Brett, I've just watched this video after you linked it in part 4 of An Intro to Economic Life. Absolutely fascinating - thank you! You speak as clearly as you write.

And as feedback for the course I can say it really helps to listen and watch you talking, together with the videos you link, to bring the subject alive.

Great, thanks so much for the feedback Helen. I'm also very keen to do a video version of the course once I've completed the written version

This is one of the best things I've read in years. It really shifted my thinking on a topic I thought I knew a lot about. Thank you!

Wow! Thank you Brett.

A fascinating story with so many layers and twists.

Now even more appreciating and sorry for what we have lost with David’s death - that he was working on this area to shed light on it’s political relevance for our current situation...

If you hadn’t made the effort to make this story accessible in the way that you have, as an economic anthropologist, I’m pretty sure I would never have heard it.
