520 1  The study of the quest for the good life and the morality 
       and value it presupposes is not new. To the contrary, this
       is an ancient issue; its intellectual history can be 
       traced back to Aristotle. In anthropology, the study of 
       morality and value has always been a central concern, 
       despite the claim of some scholars that the recent upsurge
       of interest in these issues is new. What is novel is how 
       scholars in many disciplines are posing the value question
       in new ways. The global economic alignments of the present
       pose many political, moral and theoretical questions, but 
       the central issue the essays in this collection address is
       : how do relatively poor people of the Australia-Pacific 
       region survive in current precarious times? In looking to 
       answer this question, contributors directly engage the 
       values and concepts of their interlocutors. At a time when
       understanding local implications of global processes is 
       taking on new urgency, these essays bring finely honed 
       anthropological perspectives to matters of universal human
       concern--they offer radical empirical critique based on 
       intensive fieldwork that will be of great interest to 
       those seeking to comprehend the bigger picture. 
545 1  "The chapters in this collection were among papers 
       presented at a conference held at the University of 
       Manchester, 24-26 March 2015, entitled 'The Quest for the 
       Good Life in Precarious Times: Grassroots Perspectives on 
       the Value Question in the 21st Century'. The conference 
       marked the end of a UK Economic and Social Research 
       Council (ESRC)- funded project entitled 'Domestic Moral 
       Economy: An Ethnographic Study of Value in the Asia-
       Pacific Region' ..."
