Social scientists interested in peasant societies have tried to make sense of their
economies in terms of the "political" and "moral" economy paradigms. I t is the aim of this
paper to assess critically the applicability of such models to the informal sector of Irish family
farms and, in so doing, to postulate the necessity of a different theoretical approach. The
simplistic dichotomy between "rational" and "moral" behaviour is shown to fall short of a
satisfactory account of economic relationships in this particular context. The complex intersection
of different forms of rationality on an Irish family farm, half-way between peasant and
capitalist agricultural producers, calls for newer and less rigid hypotheses. |
