Abstract: | Based on a field visit of slightly over three months in 1964, the paper contains a concrete account of the main structure of the Mountain Fur economy (Sudan). It also pursues an argument of greater generality concerning the use of the concept of 'spheres' in the analysis of an economic system. The author presents an inclusive model to show in what sense the flow of goods and services is patterned in descrete spheres, and explains the unity within, and barriers between, the spheres.
