## Carreira

Como resultado do trabalho etnográfico de Firth, o comportamento real das sociedades (organização social) é separado das regras idealizadas de comportamento dentro da sociedade particular (estrutura social). Ele foi professor de antropologia por muito tempo na London School of Economics, e é considerado o criador sozinho de uma forma de antropologia econômica britânica.
