Marshall Sahlin's purpose in "The Original Affluent Society" is to change the view point that hunter-gatherers are a group of primitive people who are just scraping by, in reality they are a very affluent group of people who have a lot of leisurely time because they gather what they need and can do so because they desire very little.
