The Gift: How the Creative Spirit Transforms the World

A modern classic cherished by many of the greatest artists of our time, The GiftÂ is a brilliant, life-changing defense of the value of creative labor. Drawing on examples from folklore and literature, history and tribal customs, economics and modern copyright law, Lewis Hyde demonstrates how our societyâ€”governed by the marketplaceâ€”is poorly equipped to determine the worth of artistsâ€™ work. He shows us that another way is possible: the alternative economy of the gift, which allows creations and ideas to circulate freely, rather than hoarding them as commodities. Illuminating and transformative, The Gift is a triumph of originality and insightâ€”an essential book for anyone who has ever given or received a work of art.
