What do you love to do most—so much so that you'd gladly give away the results, if only you could spend your life doing it?

What if other people, by doing what they love, could enable you to do what you want to do?

That's the dream at the heart of the gift economy. 💝🏴

You can read more about it in our text revisiting the difference between mutual aid and charity:

CrimethInc.Mutual Aid, the Commons, and the Revolutionary Abolition of CapitalismTo get the most out of mutual aid, we ought to create participatory commons in which everyone can contribute and there is no fundamental division between organizers and beneficiaries.

So here's some highlights.

On Money

"Money is, then, a necrotising parasite on social relationships, systematically sucking out transactions of kindness and generosity from the economy and replacing them with a winner-takes-all, zero sum game of competitive meanness.

Money is a disease."

The Fool on the HillOn MoneyI've been listening to an interview with Joe Ament on the Economics for Rebels podcast. In it, Joe claims that the origin of money cannot be in barter, because a fisher cannot catch fish until they have a fishing pole, and so, to obtain the fishing pole (Joe, being from the United States, calls it a 'fishing pole', and so, for the purposes of this essay, shall I) they must incur debt. Thus primitive economics is not quid pro quo, but a complex and precise but undenominated system of accounting of debts.This is obvious nonsense, but it got me thinking: what is money?

"In our modern world, the concept of reciprocity often mirrors the transactional nature of capitalist economies. We tend to view giving and receiving as equal exchanges, bound by time and immediate return...Can we release the idea that reciprocity is an obligation to be fulfilled within a static relationship, and instead embrace it as an ongoing movement of care and trust?"

@Eceni often, on your podcast, you look at ways of distributing value in the world that is struggling to be born, and always, it seems, you look at exchange based systems.

But this is, surely, anathema. Exchange based systems always, at all scales, everywhere, favour the rich over the poor, since those without have to trade now, while those with surplus can wait in the hope of higher prices later.

Surely, only a #GiftEconomy will serve us?

ACCIDENTAL GODS · Radical Change: Building a Parallel Economy with Peter Kemp of Citizen CoinPredatory Capitalism is killing us - this is obvious. So how do we create ways to exchange, store and account for value that are just and equitable and will take us towards the future we’d be proud to leave behind?

Firestorm Books

Care to join us for a two part discussion of Robin Wall Kimmerer's "The Serviceberry"? Our Disaster Reading Group, which has been meeting since shortly after Hurricane Helene, has picked this essay-length book on mutuality in nature for the May 12th and June 2nd meetings! This is a perfect chance for new folks to jump in 🤠

As Kimmerer explains, “Serviceberries show us another model, one based upon reciprocity, where wealth comes from the quality of your relationships, not from the illusion of self-sufficiency.”

"The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World" is a bold and inspiring vision for how to orient our lives around gratitude, reciprocity, and community, based on the lessons of the natural world. This series is co-facilitated by Lauren Miller.

On May 12th, we're discussing pages 1 through 50 but you're welcome to join us even if you can't complete the reading! Learn more and find discounted copies of the book at firestorm.coop/events/3392-the
