Document Summary
Study guide for section 4: compare and contrast reciprocity and redistribution economic systems, and the kinds of societies that use them. Reciprocity- give and take, gift giving often with food (feasting> storing up for someone"s obligation to feed you, leads to intermarriage, balances out inequity, political leadership is given to people who give the most. Maori were armed with guns, headed to the islands and enslaved and killed people. Pizarro had steel armor, swords, horse mounted cavalry, and guns. Pizarro captured their leader and collected a ransom, then killed him. If it was the other way around the incas would have not invaded. They have more people so they are going to have more hierarchies and inequity due to the extensive population growth over a hunter-gatherer society. More food so more people, more technology development, more labor, and more warriors.
