On the other hand - it would be interesting to
elaborate further on the
question: What is it then, if not a gift?
I think the basic book, which explains why 'Communal
Shareholding' modes, are not the same as reciprocal
modes, is Alan Page Fiske in 'Structures of Social
Life"
(summarized here at
http://www.p2pfoundation.net/index.php/Relational_Model_Typology_-_Fiske)
There is a whole school of writing about common
property regimes, of which you can probably find
references at the Cooperation Commons
For my own arguments on why peer production is a form
of Communal Shareholding, see Ctheory in the sigfile.
