Aportes de Alexander Chayanov a los estudios de la antropología económica y rural

Abstract

In this article we propose to analyze the main proposals of the Russian agronomist Alaxander Chayanov (1890-1930) whose contributions were key to the analysis of the so-called "Peasant Economy" or "Peasant Economic Unity". In the first place, we will return to the context of Russia at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century, fundamental to understanding its proposals and the debate with Marxist authors. Then, we will study the main aspects by which his work had a great repercussion in Economic and Rural Anthropology. And finally, we analyze how their categories were taken up from anthropology in Latin America and, in particular, in Argentina in the 60s and 70s.
