Atypical Collectivism - the gifting economy
Not theft or slavery
Not obligation
Not guiltiness
Gifting economies ride on two
compelling heart strings
need and worth
It’s faith
in reciprocity
in sheer mass of kindly
similarities
It’s hope for possibility
knowing how
80 percent can be
It’s love
knowing that
delaying gratification
giving forward
on gratitude
is symbiotic with prosperity
upright honest capitalism
a far cry apart
from short sighted
greedy
dishonest
...corporatism
