Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In his classic essay The Gift, Marcel Mauss argued that gifts can never be truly free; rather, they bring about an expectation of reciprocal exchange. For over one hundred years, his ideas on economy, social relations, and exchange have inspired new modes of thought, none more so than what c…rystallized in the 1980s around an innovative group of French academics. In TheGift Paradigm, Alain Caille provides the first in-depth, English-language introduction to La Revue du MAUSSor, Anti-Utilitarian Movement in the Social Sciences, combining the work of anthropologists, sociologists, philosophers, and others. Today, the very idea of a general social science seems unthinkable, unless you count the pervasive sway of a utilitarian logic in orthodox economics, or the diffuse influence of neoliberalism. Here, Caille offers a distinctly different reading of economy and society, inspired by Maussas vital now as ever. A Short Introduction to the AntiUtilitarian Movement in the Social Sciences. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. Owner's bookplate on inside front cover. Binding tight. Pages clean and unmarked. Dustjacket in excellent condition. The anthropologist Marcel Mauss, in his famous exploration of the gift in "primitive" and archaic societies, showed that the essential aspect… of the exchange of presents involved the establishment of a social tie that bound the parties together above and beyond any material value of the objects exchanged. He argued that these intangible mutual "debts" constituted the social fabric. Godbout and Caillé show that, contrary to the modern assumption that societies function on the basis of market exchange and the pursuit of self-interest, the gift still constitutes the foundation of our social fabric. The authors describe the gift not as an object but as a social connection, perhaps the most important social connection because it creates a sense of obligation to respond in kind. They examine the gift in a broad range of cases such as blood and organ donation; volunteer work; the bonds between friends, couples, and family; Santa Claus; the interaction between performers and their audience; and the relation of the artist to society. Written in an engaging manner, The World of the Gift will appeal to anyone who is interested in how the world really operates.
