We Eat The Mines And The Mines Eat Us: Dependency And Exploitation In Bolivian Tin Mines (Book Review), Melvin Burke

School of Economics Faculty Scholarship

...[t]here is much to be learned by anthropologists, economists, Bolivian scholars, socialists, and capitalists alike from this book. None of these individuals will be completely satisfied, since the work will not be sufficiently scientific or ideologically correct for specialists. Such, however, is the nature of a truly cross-disciplinary study like the one here under review. Nevertheless, virtually everyone who reads Nash's latest book should find it, as I did, enlightening, interesting, and above all emotionally moving.
