    Facebook is harnessing the power of the social graph, and has certainly adopted an expanded definition of what 'currency' means. It's time for the rest of us to hop on board.

    "Humanity is now at a critical juncture. As Paul Hawken succinctly put it in his inspiring address to Portland University's graduate class in May of 2009, "civilization needs a new operating system," and fast. Many of the socio-economic rules under which we operate were created under a worldview that failed to recognize that the earth is a living system"

    "Following an early career in the UK Department of Trade & Industry, Chris was a market regulator at the Association of Futures Brokers & Dealers, and then at the International Petroleum Exchange (latterly as a Director). At the IPE, he developed successful new trading mechanisms such as Exchange of Futures for Swaps; Volatility Trades; and Settlement Trades. Between 1998-2000, he founded and developed NewClear, a generic transaction confirmation concept, still widely used in global markets. Chris now works mainly in Scotland, with Nordic Enterprise Trust, to develop new partnership-based enterprise models, and related financial products and services. His work at ISRS is focused on a new generation of networked markets - which will, in Chris's view, necessarily be dis-intermediated, open decentralised and, therefore, resilient."

    Answer from the UK's FSA on the legality of the Grok The design of the ReeComm, and in particular of the Grok, conform to German national law, where the Grok is even exempt from supervision by the financial services authority. For other countries the relevant local authorities and fiscal experts must be consulted, and a set of rules for "your" Grok hammered out which are legal by your national laws. We have received a reply from the UK's Financial Services Authority to our question about the Grok in the UK; it is both long and difficult to understand. We will be glad to provide it to anyone interested - just contact us.

      Does the position on the scarcity-abundance spectrum influence the type of economy that dominates a society?  
  • Lewis Hyde locates the origin of gift economies in the sharing of food,
  • a notion

  • of the gift as something that must "perish"
  • strictly egalitarian sharing of all food resources in each atoll.
  • reciprocal gifts of money, or remittances back to their home community.
  • the potlatch ritual, where leaders give away large amounts of goods to their followers, strengthening group relations. By sacrificing accumulated wealth, a leader gained a position of honor.
  • kórima
  • one's duty to share his wealth with anyone.
  • some Spanish villages in the 1930s,

      This is part of the conditions for a gift economy to emerge. 
  • Traditional scientific research can be thought of as an information gift economy.
  • reputation
  • Consumer Gift Systems
  • music downloading as a system of social solidarity based on gift transactions
  • open-source software developers have created "a 'gift culture' in which participants compete for prestige by giving time, energy, and creativity away"
  • Wikipedia
  • gifts to be a form of reciprocal altruism.
  • social status is awarded in return
  • food-sharing is a safeguard against the failure of any individual's daily foraging
  • concern for the well-being of others
  • a form of informal insurance
  • may bring with it social status or other benefits
  • a traditional gift economy is based on "the obligation to give, the obligation to accept, and the obligation to reciprocate,"
  • it is "at once economic, juridical, moral, aesthetic, religious, and mythological.
  • the gift must always move.
  • a difference between a "true" gift given out of gratitude and a "false" gift given only out of obligation
  • the "true" gift binds us in a way beyond any commodity transaction, but "we cannot really become bound to those who give us false gifts.
  • Hyde argues that when a primarily gift-based economy is turned into a commodity-based economy, "the social fabric of the group is invariably destroyed."[
  • prohibitions against turning gifts into capital
  • treating gift exchange as barter
  • treating Kula as barter is considered a disgrace.
  • commercial goods can generally become gifts, but when gifts become commodities, the gift "...either stops being a gift or else abolishes the boundary...
  • Contracts of the heart lie outside the law
  • Sociologist Marcel Mauss
  • gifts entail obligation and are never 'free'.
  • it is easy to romanticize a gift economy, humans do not always wish to be enmeshed in a web of obligation
  • person seeking independence who decides not to accept
  • There are times when we want to be aliens and strangers.
  • A gift creates a "feeling bond
  • Commodity exchange does not
  • Georges Bataille
  • to his point of view the structure of gift forms the presupposition for all possible economy
  • the receiver of the gift to confirm a subjection
  • practice that bears out different roles for the parts that undertake an action in it, installing in this act of donating the Hegelian dipole of master and slave
  • anarcho-primitivists and anarcho-communists, believe that variations on a gift economy may be the key to breaking the cycle of poverty.
  • desire to refashion all of society into a gift economy.
  • a gift economy as an ideal, with neither money, nor markets, nor central planning
  • the paradigm of "mutual aid"
  • mutual benefit is a stronger incentive than mutual strife and is eventually more effective collectively in the long run to drive individuals to produce.
  • a gift economy stresses the concept of increasing the other's abilities and means of production, which would then (theoretically) increase the ability of the community to reciprocate to the giving individual.
  • collective shunning where collective groups keep track of other individuals' productivity, rather than leaving each individual having to keep track of the rest of society by him or herself.
