Wealth of nomads – an exploratory analysis of livestock inequality in the Saami reindeer husbandry
M. W. Næss and B. Bårdsen
This research by Marius Warg Næss and Bård-Jørgen Bårdsen highlights how wealth inequality among Saami reindeer herders is both decreasing and enduring, defying the common belief that livestock wealth prevents wealth disparities. With insights drawn from Norwegian governmental data, it uncovers surprising regional differences in wealth distribution and implications for social structure development.
