Lived experiences under economic stress shape culturally-informed choices, as explored through the lens of economic anthropology in Mexico and Guatemala. The author reviews key regional studies and examines the U.S.-Mexico borderlands, urging a reevaluation of economic otherness in Latin America. By presenting a framework that reconciles 'penny capitalism' with the realities of 'Dollar Capitalism', the book challenges readers to rethink their perspectives on economic practices in a globalized market context.
