Joining us as our guest to explore How a Radically Different World View is Possible by Adopting a Gift Economy will be Gift Economy expert Genevieve Vaughn.
According to Wikipedia, in the social sciences, a gift economy (or gift culture) is a society where valuable goods and services are regularly given without any explicit agreement for immediate or future rewards (i.e. no formal quid pro quo exists). Ideally, simultaneous or recurring giving serves to circulate and redistribute valuables within the community. The organization of a gift economy stands in contrast to a barter economy or a market economy . Informal custom governs exchanges, rather than an explicit exchange of goods or services for money or some other commodity.
Genevieve Vaughn, independent researcher, activist, social change philanthropist,speaker and visionary, joins us to demystify and share her insights about a Gift Economy inside and outside of patriarchal capitalism and how women play an important role in making a radically different world view is possible.
