“thriving depends on more than meeting basic physical needs, and includes goods like a sense of community, mutual support, and equality.

“R: I remember when I was younger, I didn't have many words for the things I felt. I'd write all this language around the thing but never say the thing or the thing at first remove from the thing, because that would be too close. People would find out. But because I didn't really know what I needed to say, I didn't exactly grasp what I was cloaking. So, I was never sure if I was quite cloaked.”

“Public libraries seem to me a powerful example of the way that gift economies can coexist with market economies, at a larger scale. . . To me, they embody the civic-scale practice of a gift economy and the notion of common property. Libraries are models of gift economies, providing free access not only to books but also music, tools, seeds, and more. We don't each. have to own everything. The books at the library belong to everyone, serving the public with free books. . . Take the books, enjoy them, bring them back so someone else can enjoy them, with literary abundance for all. And all you need is a library card, which is a kind of agreement to respect and take care of the common good.”
