Gift economy : Definition , exchange , Principles

The gift economy is the deep support the exchange between individuals, founded the foundation for any social activity, and contributes to the production of social norm.

For anthropologists, including Marcel Mauss in his "Essay on the gift. Shape and because of the exchange in archaic societies "(1923-1924), the gift is built on the obligation to" give, receive and make. " The gift is powered by the almost spiritual power that is specific to the given object, unilaterally offered as part of a relationship. Without belief in the force by the donee, the gift does not exist or may not be perceived as such by those who receive it.
For economists such as Francois Perroux, the exchange can consist of :
"Gift to give," I give no consideration required or explicitly expected by the donor
"Pseudo-donation 'I give to win later in the context of an offer assuming an obligation to return, immediately or in the form of debt or performance
Gift exchange is distinguished from other forms of exchange by a number of principles, such as the form of property rights governing the articles exchanged; whether gifting forms a distinct "sphere of exchange" that can be characterized as an "economic system"; and the character of the social relationship that the gift exchange establishes. Gift ideology in highly commercialized societies differs from the "prestations" typical of non-market societies. Gift economies must also be differentiated from several closely related phenomena, such as common property regimes and the exchange of non-commodified labour.
