“fascinating little book adds to the study of culture to political economy” MacGaffey ~Journal of Anthropological Research
“presents fascinating material on beliefs about money in some Luo-speaking communities of Kenya… an insightful analysis… a case that will generate fruitful discussions for years to come” Ferguson ~American Ethnologist
