- adamgordonbell 4y agoI think it was the overall idea of it that stuck with me. We seem to be naturally geared towards a gift economy, like the person above described with the cabbages or sharing drinks with your buddies. A lot of clashes in the world seem to be capitalism not meshing with those expectations. A celebrity who is paid millions to be in a movie can be hurt by someone on twitter, with 200 followers insulting they're performance. The person should have no power over them, but does. Maybe that is because it feels like the gifts in the village thing and having your cabbages rejected by a neighbour.
