Excellent- More about Untimely Sacrifices: Work and Death in Finland
Untimely Sacrifices questions why individuals give their time and energy to the collective against their own self-interest, challenging the economic premise of cognitive psychology and offering a critique of state welfare and political economy.

Turning to Finland, where public health officials have identified occupational burnout as a new hazard of the new economy, Daena Funahashi raises an intriguing question: What motivates individuals to work to the point of pathological stress? Contrary to health experts who emphasize the importance of self-management and energetic conservation, Funahashi challenges the very economic premise of cognitive psychology that suggests one can economize their energy and thus save oneself. By juxtaposing anthropological perspectives on sacrifice with clinical discourses on pressure, work, and coping, Funahashi offers insightful ways to reexamine what drives stress.
Untimely Sacrifices also provides a thought-provoking critique of state welfare and political economy. It challenges the tendency to treat the gift economy as a separate entity from the force that drives redistributive mechanisms of state welfare. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding how forces beyond the conventional economy come to shape issues of labor, stress, and welfare.
