In this recording from the Society for Economic Anthropology’s 2022 annual conference in Copenhagen, Aneil Tripathy asks conference organizer and philosopher, Morten Sørensen Thaning, Associate Professor at Copenhagen Business School, what economic anthropology means to him. The value of economic anthropology for Morten lies in the limits of philosophy. Anthropologists can push philosophers past pre given universals, and our research and writing help refine concepts and ideas. Morten values much work in economic anthropologists as case studies that challenge and refine key concepts useful for understanding our world and activity that is associated with economics.
