A modern classic cherished by many of the greatest artists of our time The Gift 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 society—governed by the marketplace—is poorly equipped to determine the worth of artists’ 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 insight—an essential book for anyone who has ever given or received a work of art.
