Produktinformationen zu „Politics of the Gift / Alternatives to Capitalism in the 21st Century (ePub)“
At the heart of capitalism lies the idea of an ever-rational human being motivated by self-interest - which arguably leads societies to economic prosperity.
Drawing on French sociologist Marcel Mauss' influential theory of 'the gift', this book shatters this fallacy to show that trust is the only glue that holds societies together, and people are giving beings who can cooperate for the benefit of all when the logic of maximizing personal gain in capitalism is broken.
