Gerald Mars

About

Gerald Mars is a British social anthropologist who works across disciplines to understand the nature and problems of modern industrial society. His work draws on the grid-group theory of Mary Douglas, on his fieldwork in Canada, Britain, Israel, and the former Soviet republics, and on his own experience. His work has often centred on workplace crime, and his best-known book, still often discussed, is Cheats at Work (1982).
