Inhaltsverzeichnis includes a preface for both the first and second editions, followed by an introduction and a series of chapters divided into two main parts. The first part, "L'échange Restreint," explores fundamental concepts of exchange, including rules, endogamy and exogamy, the principle of reciprocity, dualistic organization, archaic illusions, alliances, cousin marriage, and matrimonial exchange. It specifically examines the Australian context, detailing classical systems, the Murngin system, and the distinction between harmonic and disharmonic regimes, culminating in an appendix. The second part, "L'échange Généralisé," begins with a simple formula for generalized exchange, discussing the roles of women as givers, the interplay between exchange and purchase, and the internal and external limits of this exchange system. It further investigates the Chinese system through Granet's theory, the Tchao Mou order, matrilateral marriage, oblique marriage, and peripheral systems. The section on India addresses the relationship between bone and flesh, clans and castes, asymmetrical structures, and cycles of reciprocity. The conclusion transitions into complex structures, summarizing the principles of kinship. An index, figure tables, and a table of contents provide additional resources for navigation.
