Papers by Simone Athayde
perpetrate a capitalist view of the world. But there
are other visions that could contest the capitalist vision of
what counts as the economic good. The seven essays in Images
of Public Wealth or the Anatomy of Well-Being in Indigenous
Amazonia explore local notions of public wealth
and well-being and assess their applicability to noncapitalist
human societies more generally. Comprised of papers
originally presented at the 54th International Congress
of Americanists in Vienna in 2012, the volume’s rich
ethnographicmaterial constitutes the most comprehensive
theoretical analysis deconstructing conventional economic
notions of public wealth based on the perspectives of tropical
forest indigenous peoples of Ecuador, Colombia, Peru,
and Brazil today.
