Acknowledgements

We would like to thank all those who helped us to make this volume a reality: the directors and staff of the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology, with special thanks to Bettina Mann and Anke Mayer; the four anonymous reviewers, whose comments and suggestions greatly improved the final chapters; our former colleagues Deema Kaneff and Kristen Endres, who edited their own volume dedicated to Chris Hann’s work, Explorations in Economic Anthropology: Key Issues and Critical Reflections (Berghahn 2021), and encouraged and advised us to create our own ‘doctoral students’’ volume; Alessandra Tosi, Melissa Purkiss and Laura Rodríguez Pupo at Open Book Publishers, who assisted us with patience. Last but not least, we would like to thank all of our friends and colleagues—former doctoral students of Professor Chris Hann—who agreed to contribute to this volume and worked alongside us on it. Thank you for this truly collegial endeavour.
