| Inhoud: |
The causal complexities and rationality of high-grading are examined in the small-scale antimony mines of the Jukumani Indians of Northern Potosi, Bolivia. Taxes and piece rate systems of payment provide incentives for selective removal of ore. The contractual format in which piece rate systems of payment are embedded serves the interests of both workers and owners. Proprietors are able to off-load risks to labourers by paying them by results. Peasants, if they are young, landed, and unencumbered by family or community responsibilities, are able and willing to accept these forms of remuneration since it allows them to accumulate capital in socially-approved ways. The effect of piece rate work on high-grading and its role in the accumulation of wealth within Jukumani society are also discussed. |
