While subject to a significant level of state control, they also gave at least limited autonomy to rank-and-file members. in the case of the “pathfinders”, local activists received delegated authority for the shaping of memories of the War from the state, but, as ekaterina melnikova shows, over time, their contribution to the memory project moved a significant distance from the norms posited in government instructions. the activisation of grassroots movements was combined at this period with increasing interest in the principles of market economics, despite their dissonance with the prevailing ideals of soviet culture as radically distinctive from that of “capitalist countries” (kapstrany). As sergei Alymov’s article shows, this hiatus calls into question the conventional understanding of marketisation in the early 1990s as a profound departure from late soviet ideology and practice. if Alymov’s article is concerned with conflicts within official ideology, and melnikova’s with the adjustment of top-down instructions in civic organisations, Alfrid Bustanov’s discussion highlights the efforts of individual community groups and subcultures to accommodate official ideology, showing how translators and interpreters of the koran tried to prove that the moral guidance in the text was not anti-Communist and to demonstrate that islam was compatible with the findings of “progressive science”. the unifying motif of all the articles is their focus on the perception by different strata of soviet society of their place in the political and social culture of their time and their analysis of views of official politics and ideology at a broad social level. k e y w o r d s: Brezhnev era, grassroots movements, ideology, market economics, religious communities, soviet society, state control. t o c i t e: Baiburin A., kelly C., ‘epokha Brezhneva v antropologicheskoy retrospektive’ [the Brezhnev era in Anthropological Retrospective], Antropologicheskij forum, 2018, no. 37, pp. 11–19. d o i: 10.31250/1815-8870-2018-14-37-11-19 U R L: http://anthropologie.kunstkamera.ru/files/pdf/037/baiburin_kelly.pdf 11 П Е Р И О Д З А С Т О Я?

What is offered here is entirely an economist’s view . From an economist’s point of view, the book poses a number of important questions which are being widely discussed at the moment within the economists community, and an outside viewpoint may be of interest . At the same time, a number of elements in the book will seem debatable, not to say peculiar, to an economist . First we shall formulate the basic theses, as reckoned by an economist, and then see what, on the whole, he or she might derive from Banking on Words: The Failure of Language in the Age of Derivative Finance .

Chicago, IL: University of Chicago Press, 2016, 180 pp. The book under review is an attempt to understand the latest financial crisis of 2008–9 by analysing the derivatives market through the lens of economic anthropology. The book is more of an open invitation to consider the nature of modern financial market using the example of derivatives. It poses questions, such as the essence of market price, the border between risk and uncertainty, the fair share of financial sector in the economy, but it does not provide the answers. Considered from an economist’s point of view, Appadurai’s book lacks a clear understanding of the economic gist of the phenomena under study. This, alongside with incorrect and mixed up usage of economic terms and absent understanding of the latest developments of economics science, makes the book a difficult reading for professionals beyond economic anthropology and related fields. However, the questions posed in the book and the opinion from outside of the economic science will provide food for thought for those economists who get through the mentioned difficulties.","PeriodicalId":431405,"journal":{"name":"Forum for Anthropology and Culture","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131067085","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
