The False Coin of Our Own Dreams: Toward an Anthropological Theory of Value by David Graeber, ISBN 0312240457
This innovative book is the first comprehensive synthesis of economic, political, and cultural theories of value. David Graeber re-examines a century of anthropological thought about value and exchange, in large measure to find a way out of quandaries in current social theory, which have become critical at the present moment of ideological collapse in the face of Neoliberalism. Rooted in an engaged, dynamic realism, Graeber argues that projects of cultural comparison are in a sense necessarily revolutionary projects: He attempts to synthesize the best insights of Karl Marx and Marcel Mauss, arguing that these figures represent two extreme, but ultimately complementary, possibilities in the shape such a project might take. Graeber breathes new life into the classic anthropological texts on exchange, value, and economy. He rethinks the cases of Iroquois wampum, Pacific kula exchanges, and the Kwakiutl potlatch within the flow of world historical processes, and recasts value as a model of human meaning-making, which far exceeds rationalist/reductive economist paradigms.

In "Consultation for Contemporary Helping Professionals, 1e" traditional models of consulting are presented, critically examined, and reworked to incorporate issues of race and gender into their respective theoretical principles.

Features: Thoughtfully integrates issues of race and gender throughout the text. Includes a unique systematic comparison of counseling and consultation (Ch. 2). Includes an examination of the philosophical contexts of consultation and intervening, which receives very little coverage in other consultation texts. Examines...
