Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book describes the extent to which four village communities have participated in the market sector introduced by the Europeans ; the ways in which they have responded to the various incentives provided by the trade stores ; the manner in which they have accommodated an increasing need for money. The traditional and trade sectors of the village economies are described, measured and related to the levels of incentive for participation in the market sector offered in each vilage. The Samoans adopted a dual economy in which the old subsistence-based socially motivated system continues to dominate the new market system of the foreigners."--Jacket
