It introduces anthropological exchange theory to a wider readership, and shows how the perspective offers new ways to enquire about the flexible capitalism's social dimensions. The essays contribute to a trans-disciplinary scholarship on contemporary economic practice and change by documenting how, across diverse settings, "gift-like" socialities proliferate, and even sustain the intensified flexible commoditization that more commonly is touted as tearing social relations apart. By interrogating a keenly debated contemporary work regime through an approach to sociality rooted in a rich and distinct anthropological legacy, the volume also makes a novel contribution to the anthropological literature on work and on exchange. 410 0$aEASA series ;$v25. 606 $aWork environment$xSocial aspects 606 $aAdaptability (Psychology) 606 $aInterpersonal relations 606 $aCapitalism$xSocial aspects 610 $aCapitalism. 610 $aEconomic Anthropology. 610 $aEmployment. 610 $aFlexible Capitalism. 610 $aLabor. 610 $aNeoliberalism. 615 0$aWork environment$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aAdaptability (Psychology) 615 0$aInterpersonal relations. 615 0$aCapitalism$xSocial aspects. 676 $a331.2 702 $aKjaerulff$b Jens 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820333903321 996 $aFlexible capitalism$93931263 997 $aUNINA
