#EXHIBITION #TALKS
Together with the children from the Karuna, Anthropology for Kids worked on different topics for the book “What is wealth?.”
From childhood, we read stories about rich and poor, about kings and commoners, about enormous treasures and adventurers.
But what is “Wealth”?
Does this mean that the rich are happier or smarter than the poor? Is it true that wealth is earned by the most hardworking and talented or, on the contrary, wealth is the destiny of greedy and heartlessness?
Anthropologists believe that there is no single answer to these questions. They study how people in different cultures and at different times understand differently what “wealth” is.
