"In a gift economy, wealth is understood as having enough to share, and the practice for dealing with abundance is to give it away. … You might rightly observe that we no longer live in small, insular societies, where generosity and mutual esteem structure our relations. But we could. It is within our power to create such webs of interdependence, quite outside the market economy.”
- Robin Wall Kimmerer, The Serviceberry
anti-capitalist personal finance:
- shop exclusively at small/local businesses
- Go cold turkey on corporations. You'll never go back.
- switch to a small/local/eco-friendly bank
- I use Clean Energy Credit Union.
- consider costs beyond money
- Ordering something from Amazon instead of a small business may be a few dollars cheaper, but it costs our world much more.
- keep enough money and give away the rest
- Enough is as good as a feast.
