Agricultural Involution: The Process of Ecological Change in Indonesia
This monograph is an expansion and comprehensive revision of the first section of my earlier programmatic essay, "The Development of the Javanese Economy: A Socio-Cultural Approach," issued in dittoed form by the Center for International Studies of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1856 as document C/56-1 in their Economic Development Program series.
This book is an attempt to apply to the interpretation of--in this case, economic--history some concepts and findings of social anthropology, to utilize the insights derived from microsociological analysis for understanding macrosociological problems, and to establish a fruitful interaction between the biological, social, and historical sciences.
