The Original Affluent Society: Reaction Marshall Sahlins sets forth a rather intriguing argument in his article entitled “The Original Affluent Society.” He makes the bold, yet convincing statement that hunter-gatherers have the best methods of living in regard to many aspects of human existence. The quality of life that is possible in this particular lifestyle is like no other. Accordingly, Sahlins adopts a Zen-like worldview to his way of thinking.
