personalized very embedded [[left-pointing arrow]]                                    impersonal little embedded

Polanyi & his crew facinated by diff. types of [[strikethrough]] trade [[/strikethrough]] exchange in Argonauts, not just kula

1) urigubu - man gives his yams to his sister's husband & he gives to his sister's husband etc   classic embedded reciprocity

his sister's husband, so could [[strikethrough]] argr [[/strikethrough]] argue not giving away at all since giving to own hiers and sister's husband just the manager of HH where your heirs living

2) Wasi 
inland village gives yams to coastal village & gets fish 
as with uriguba a big display made again Polanyi et al say not maximizing in econ sense, but again maximizing show off
again a classic reciprocity, but not between kin groups but between villages

3) pokala - tribute to chief

4) gimwali - classic market
note tribute to chief very personal, strong personal loyalties to chief or king but bureaucracy faceless
