Marcel Mauss: philosopher of Christmas Gift Guilt

Black Friday is the Friday following Thanksgiving Day in the United States, often regarded as the beginning of the Christmas shopping season; it is a great opportunity to experience primitive, compulsory capitalism.

Comment by Ian C Dengler on November 30, 2013 at 3:07am: The wild animals gather. Here in Texas there are the vultures, who live in a tree around the corner. The deer show up on the lawn at night, and sometimes even in the early hours of the morning. Hopefully they will learn about fast-moving cars. AND THERE ARE SKUNKS: lots of them if people leave out cat food. It's mall alright. Shopping 24-7.

Comment by Ian C Dengler on November 30, 2013 at 2:29am: Yes. There's the Mall, and the Coyote, and that is friendly land gifting. And there are now abandoned malls. Or maybe that is part of the process of a culture giving itself a start in the direction of local sales outlets. Or perhaps it would be better to spend more, and make a better gift for the future: feed the coyote! Don't make it suffer? Urban coyotes are something of a survival miracle in parts of the U.S. They are more skilled than wild dogs. And they are a gift to newsrooms looking for an interesting, evening story line.

Comment by Ian C Dengler on November 29, 2013 at 2:07pm: When Marx heard that American workers were calling for "A dollar a day, hamburger, and the Chinese must go," he urged his follower to change their slogan to "Abolish the credit system."

Nice Stamp!

Comment by Ian C Dengler on November 29, 2013 at 10:37am: Our first love is the definition of capitalism: philosophy.

Money is all about Idealism, and that’s what philosophy does: provide Bitcoin@spellbinding.com

It would help if economists\philosophers started with all exchanges and not even on the playing field of desire
