Exploring the economy of sharing across diverse social and political contexts, the book presents a comparative analysis that includes hunter-gatherer ethnography and examples from globalized societies. The author distinguishes sharing from other economic concepts like gift-giving and exchange, proposing that this new focus could reshape anthropological theory. By examining sharing's unique characteristics, the work aims to deepen understanding of its role in human interaction and its implications for economic anthropology.
