Features: This book has a clear theme, broad perspective, rich and detailed information, strong logic, and well-structured, in-depth arguments. The language is fresh and fluent, especially showcasing distinctive and innovative interdisciplinary exploration. The book is revised and completed based on Shi Lin's nearly 300,000-word doctoral dissertation. The topic is novel and has never been addressed before in China, making it highly significant in practice, academically valuable, and pioneering. First, this work fills a major gap in the interdisciplinary field between China's ethnic studies and economics. Second, the book does not simply apply the perspectives of foreign scholars to explain and analyze economic anthropology but instead adheres to using Marxist concepts of "practice," "development," and "broad definition" to study the history of theories in this marginal discipline. Third, the book is both an academically significant monograph and can serve as a professional teaching material for undergraduate and graduate students in economics, anthropology, ethnic studies, and sociology departments of universities, as well as a reference for teachers in related disciplines.
