gift exchange  

Definición

  • Few assumptions have a more powerful hold on both the Western academic and the public imagination than a vision of human nature based on the norms of market economic exchange. Consequently, it is unsurprising that questioning the universality of this model of exchange has been a major theme for a discipline like anthropology, in which the critique of such assumptions has always been important.
