  1. Are there any anthropological studies or psychological studies regarding contemporary capitalists and why they do what they do, particularly in extractive industries which despoil localities/regions?

    Is the “it’s business” answer psychologically integrated into the individuals internal being or is there a schizophrenic nature at work?

    I am a gerontological and Appalachian Studies student at Virginia Tech.

    Sincerely,

    David Winship

  2. Hi David
    Thank you for your question. Yes! There are studies. See Hirokazu Miyazaki’s book Arbitraging Japan or Karen Ho’s book Liquidated or some is Suzanna Sawyer’s work on the oil industry. So glad you are interested! Annelise
