Work and Power in Maale, Ethiopia (Revised)Paperback - Revised, 22 December 1994

This study challenges the assumption that households in non-capitalist economies are self-contained labour units which are not inherently brought into relationship by the production process. Concentrating on the organization of agricultural production and the transfer of scarce labour resources between various households at different stages of their economic development, the book shows how economics and politics relate in both a traditional and non-traditional or changing society.
