The Enigma of the Gift 2 Revised edition
Maurice Godelier
This work reassesses the significance of gifts in social life by focusing on sacred objects which are never exchanged despite the value they possess. The author argues that traditional theories of gift-giving are flawed because they consider only exchangeable gifts.
