Summary

The theme of the gift can be located at the center of current discussions of deconstruction, gender and feminist theory, ethics, philosophy, anthropology, and economics: it is, simply, one of the primary focal points at which contemporary interdisciplinary discourses intersect. Into this context comes a new, indispensable volume.The Logic of the Giftoffers several important essays on gifts and gift-giving that are often referred to but seldom read, and adds to them new essays written especially for this collection.
