Author Description

This book explores the anthropological concept of reciprocity through the study of indigenous populations in the Chaco and Andean regions. Divided into three sections, the work delves into the ethnological case of the Pilagá people, examines traditional Andean exchange systems, and reflects on the philosophical dimensions of reciprocity in anthropology. The book combines fieldwork with theoretical insights, analyzing the enduring significance of reciprocal practices, even within market economies.
