Great discussion on gift economies, Free software.

Cool to learn about "the three types of reciprocity": Generalised, Balanced, and Negative, as related to gift economies.

Appreciated the discussion around embodied knowledge. (a la Trust Situated Knowing). And a little bit around the way in which metaphor and language frames our culture (a la The Patterning Instinct)

Tools for Conviviality gets a mention too.

Like the discussion of Patreon as a market economy dressed up as a gift economy.
