Wherever I go and ask people what is missing from their lives, the most common answer (if they are not impoverished or seriously ill) is "community. " What happened to community, and why don't we have it any more? There are many reasons – the layout of suburbia, the disappearance of public space, the automobile and the television, the high mobility of people and jobs – and, if you trace the "why's" a few levels down, they all implicate the money system.

More directly posed: community is nearly impossible in a highly monetized society like our own. La monnaie Kanak (Le thewe) - La Nouvelle Calédonie. Depuis notre arrivée en Nouvelle Calédonie, nous avons voulu partager mais surtout comprendre les traditions et les coutumes locales.

Living Gift Economy. Beyond Debt: An Economy of Gratitude by Charles Eisenstein. Charles Eisenstein reviews David Graeber’s book, Debt: The First 5,000 Years. posted Mar 12, 2012 For as long as there has been such a thing as money, morality and debt have been intimately intertwined.

Beyond Debt: An Economy of Gratitude by Charles Eisenstein

We see this today in discussions about the debt crisis. Do mortgage debtors, credit card debtors, and student loan borrowers have a moral obligation to pay back their debts? Is it unethical for debtor nations to default on their loans? Most folks, thinking themselves as honorable people, feel a strong moral obligation to “make good” on their debts, to honor their debts, to follow through on what looks very much like a promise to repay. This and many other paradoxes become transparent in David Graeber's recent book, Debt: The First 5000 Years. Debt: The First 5000 Years covers a vast sweep of history, anthropology, and political economy, arguing not so much for a single thesis as for a braid of complementary ideas. « La gratuité est l'arme absolue de la vie contre l’économie » Peux-tu donner une brève définition des situationnistes ?

« La gratuité est l'arme absolue de la vie contre l’économie »

Non. Le vivant est irréductible aux définitions. Ce qu’il y avait de vie et de radicalité chez les situationnistes continue à se développer dans les coulisses d’un spectacle qui a toutes les raisons de le taire et de l’occulter. En revanche, la récupération idéologique dont cette radicalité a été l’objet connaît une vague mondaine dont les intérêts n’ont rien de commun avec les miens.

Que voulaient dire les situs quand ils affirmaient que le situationnisme n’existait pas ? Gift circle FAQ « Opencollaboration's Blog. Karma Kitchen. A Circle of Gifts.

Donner : une capacité naturelle, mais limitée

Dans un petit groupe, par exemple dans une famille, le don, tout comme l’échange, est naturel. Il nous semblerait totalement ridicule qu’une mère demande à son enfant de lui rembourser tout ce qu’elle lui a donné alors qu’il était jeune !
