Quality of Life and the Anthropological Perspective

Richard Wilk

Feminist Economics, 1999, vol. 5, issue 2, 91-93

Abstract: Anthropology has always had a commitment to cultural relativity, which has inhibited critical thinking or research on quality of life. I argue that cultural relativity remains an important caution to any attempt to measure or compare quality of life, but that there are also many reasons to pursue such comparisons.
