In Progress

The gift economy is a way of looking at the world that gives us an alternative to patriarchal capitalism. If we start from the gift economy, from unilateral gift giving, we can reason through our ways of supplying each others’ needs in a different way from that of the market and create an alternative society.

We need to do that now in order to create a culture of peace, but we also need to have that in our pockets waiting for the time, if it ever comes, when the economy that we have now crashes, so that we don’t recreate the same negative market economy that does not work for the good of all.
