The Gift: How the Creative Spirit Transforms the World - Lewis Hyde
 
Our Price: $20.00


Product Code: 1984897787

 
A life-changing defense of the value of creative labor. Drawing on examples from folklore and literature, history and tribal customs, economics and modern copyright law, Lewis Hyde demonstrated how our society -- governed by the marketplace -- is poorly equipped to determine the worth of artists' work. He shows us another way -- the alternative economy of the gift, which allows creations and ideas to circulate freely, rather than hoarding them as commodities. An essential book for anyone who has ever given or received a work of art.
Vintage Books, 2019. Third edition. Paperback, 435 pp.
