Abstract

Will the end of neoliberalism, or at least its outright decline, bring about a renaissance of anthropology? Perhaps, but for that to happen we will have to do more than go out and demonstrate. Although I sympathize with the manifesto of the anthropologists of Poland transcribed by Gustavo Lins in his interesting article, there are obstacles that anthropology will have to overcome to achieve the relevance it currently deserves.
