Why do North American Indigenous Peoples face such grave circumstances in health, poverty, and mortality-including alarmingly high rates of suicide, alcoholism, and drug abuse? In this groundbreaking book, Mukesh Eswaran confronts these urgent questions through the lens of economics, focusing on a deeply underexplored aspect: the erosion of Indigenous culture. While empirical studies have shed some light on Indigenous struggles, Eswaran argues that mainstream economic theory fails to grasp the unique realities of Indigenous communities. His work introduces innovative models that incorporate cultural and communal values-particularly the sacredness of land and the importance of extended family and communal life-as foundational components of Indigenous well-being.
