Summary
Giving is more than generosity – it is a practice with profound social, cultural, and economic impact. This book explores how gifts foster trust and community, while also generating dependencies. From ancient rituals to digital gift economies, it asks: Can society exist beyond the market? With a transdisciplinary approach, it bridges philosophy, sociology, and anthropology. A compelling read for anyone seeking to rethink economy, human connection, and ethics.Prof. Dr. Dr. Oliver Hoffmann researches the psychological, social, and cultural foundations of economic behavior.
