He shows us that another way is possible: the alternative economy of the gift, which allows creations and ideas to circulate freely, rather than hoarding them as commodities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIlluminating and transformative, The Gift is a triumph of originality and insight—an essential book for anyone who has ever given or received a work of art.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"House of Iris","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48210932334644,"sku":null,"price":27.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/8245\/9444\/files\/HOI-Books-TheGift_368bbaf3-25d7-4ada-bb3d-bea0322aabb6.jpg?v=1791405280","url":"https:\/\/houseofiris.ca\/products\/the-gift-by-lewis-hyde","provider":"House of Iris","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
