This paper explicates the role of exchange in Levi-Strauss's theory of social organization, and integrates it into his general problematic. It focuses primarily on the original works of Claude Levi-Strauss, but also incorporates and critically reviews certain aspects of Ekeh (1974) and Turner (1974). Although Levi-Strauss is an anthropologist, his theoretical insights can be especially useful to the sociologist interested in macrosociology.
