- Double-weighted statement
- Double weighting is requested for this 180 page monograph which is based on several years of ethnographic fieldwork in Mongolia’s illegal gold mines. Data were collected through extended and complex field research and the analysis demonstrates how money, gold and spirits inform people’s pursuit of fortune. Offering a detailed, critical engagement with extensive and cross-disciplinary literatures and debates, the monograph engages classical notions of moral economy, and presents a theoretical synthesis of diverse materials in bringing together questions of cosmology and economic life with fundamental implications for our understanding of human and other life.
