David Graeber, gift economies, and open source projects
Download MP3An introduction to gift economies, based on the writings of anthropologist David Graeber. A critique of Eric Raymond's "Homesteading the Noosphere", which – I claim – misrepresents gift economies. Interesting tales of variant cultures that might better fit open source projects, if analogies must be made.
