Hi Alex - still waiting on references to those many academics writing about substantial problems with gift economies. I look forward to reading them!
Well, I was actually asked for online accessible references, which I don't have - but if you're willing to buy papers, buy a book, go to a library, etc., I'm sure there's plenty of stuff you can read, for example:
The Question of the Gift: Essays Across Disciplines, Mark Osteen Derrida's Debt to Milton Friedman, Michael Tratner Competition and Entrepreneurship, Israel M. Kirzner
Cheers,
Alex.
