Gift Economy: "A gift economy is a system of exchange where valuables are given without an explicit agreement for immediate or future rewards."
Any ideas for how these could be expanded to help frens or people in general?
An example might be this forum or Wikipedia: lots of anons volunteer info that they freely share, and people also freely share valuable info they can find - there's a kind of give and take that's kind of "freely done" (besides hosting costs)
A material example that comes to mind is those little free libraries, where people freely pick up and drop off books for people to read.
It's not really a "captialist" or "Communist" idea, kind of independent of an economic system.
Any thoughts on gift economies or how we might mutually give-and-take to build better things in the world?
