Upvote and followed. What a wonderful piece. I guess you are an American. From your write-up, anyone would think like that. I am an African, and your described GIFT ECONOMY was integral part and a strong characteristic of most African economy before the arrival of European colonialist and introduction of their economic system. I understand your post so well because the whole pictures you painted are familiar. Thanks and weldone for your hard work.

yes, well i think gift economy is superior to European model. Gift economy creates happiness, European model creates division and poverty. That's my 2 cents. yeah, i am American

We should have exported this kind African culture to the world, rather than the European economic model. is it still easy to find places where people live like this?

It is no longer in measure. The system had been watered down, and you only see small particles of its effects in the rural settings. I hail from among the Igbo community. I remember our childhood days when people lived and shared things in common. People desired to help one another. Shout in the middle of the night, the whole community will run out, conven in your house to know the reason. Today, I resident in Abuja, the capital city, where people mind their businesses. A neighbour who wants to be nice can only call police to come and find out why you shout and rescue you. It is a self-centered life, economy, no give and take.

i hope we can take the best of the old ways and the new. Sometimes it seems we are taking the worst from both but I think it is changing as we connect more with each other though these roundabout means. I would be happy to learn more about your experiences :-) see you around here
