The Work and the Gift
ISBN: 9780226752570 / Angielski / Miękka / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

We ask ourselves to give with no thought of return; yet we still tell ourselves to give only to the deserving and only where our giving will do some good.
Ranging from Marx and Derrida to Friedrich Hayek and Alvin Toffler, Scott Cutler Shershow here explores the predictions of... "The Work and the Gift" considers how working and giving are taken for opposites and revealed as each other's ghostly shadow. We ask ourselves, for in...
