☮ Welcome to the GiftEconomy Wiki!
This wiki is dedicated to Gift Economies and other ways to promote abundance. To those influenced with the zeitgeist of selfishness, the idea of an economy not based on direct exchange, but on mutual giving may seem naïve, even idealistic. In fact, gift economies are alive and well in the institution closest to most people's hearts, the family, and have been the traditional social system of man since time immemorial. As the "greed is good" exchange-based economic system goes into terminal meltdown, alternative paradigms are rapidly emerging.
