About Marcel Mauss describing economies without money or markets and the barter myth:
"such economies were really “gift economies.” They were not based on calculation, but on a refusal to calculate; they were rooted in an ethical system which consciously rejected most of what we would consider the basic principles of economics."
This is me and my dad. He wants to give me money for the internet and I should give him money for the electricity to my outdoor kitchen.
