The great cultural anthropologist Marshall Sahlins passed away last Monday, at the age of 90.

He was perhaps best known for his seminal 1972 work ' Stone Age Economics ', which completely changed the way that people thought about so-called 'primitive' societies, recognising in them the original 'affluent society'.

Never one to suffer fools gladly, he was also a political activist and cultural theorist with a truly brilliant mind. The field of anthropology is much poorer for his passing.
