"""A convivial transformation of our society can no longer merely be hoped for; everything around us signals that this is a must. Frank Adloff's book is indispensable reading to (re)turn to the language and practices of giving, care, and solidarity."" Francesca Forno, University of Trento ""This book nicely weaves together a philosophical anthropology, a moral economy, an ethics of care, a politics of cooperation, a convivial technology, and an ecology into the politics of the gift. It will be an inspiring read for all those who believe that another world beyond growth and greed is possible."" Frederic Vandenberghe, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil"
