Abstract :

« Open source, file sharing, crowdfunding, peer production » – the world of digital communication is full of economic practices that are closer to giving and gifting than to buying on the market. In the context of digitalization, an economic science is needed that, in order to reflect possible developments in a globally networked cooperative society, recognizes not only the paradigm of completed exchanges between random individuals, but also the paradigm of endlessly unfinished gifts between interconnected individuals.
