Interesting that they mentioned The Rainbow Gathering as an example gift economy, rather than Burning man which is 7x larger and I would guess more widely known

- pmoriarty 7y agoIs Burning Man really a gift economy when it costs many hundreds of dollars to get in? It's more like an expensive theme park.
- Uhhrrr 7y agoInside, it is mostly a gift economy. Selling and barter are prohibited, except for ice and coffee sold by BMorg at Center Camp. There is some covert selling of drugs, but those are also largely gifted. It generally works because most people bring too much stuff anyway.
