Abstract: The purpose of this article is to address the various links between economics and anthropology. The article refers to two historical moments to characterize the relationship between these two disciplines and their boundaries. The first corresponds to the emergence of economic anthropology and the controversies between formalists and substantivists in the 1940s. The exchange between the anthropologist Melville Herskovits and the economist Frank Knight bears witness to anthropology's interest in dialogue with economic analysis, which was not reciprocated by an economics closed in on its own concepts. The second period discusses the contribution of anthropology, mainly by Joseph Henrich, to the research program of behavioural economics, and therefore compares the critical anthropology of David Graeber and the behavioural approach of Samuel Bowles and Herbert Gintis.
