The Gift Economy | Daniel Suelo | TEDxGrandJunction

Our commerce has domesticated not only our plants and animals to be perpetually immature, dependent on outward authority, stripped of the right to adulthood (self-rule), but it has also domesticated ourselves to be perpetually immature, dependent on outward authority, stripped of the right to adulthood (self-rule). Daniel Suelo has spent almost 20 years living without money. Modern life presents enough challenges with money, it's easy to imagine that the challenges increase as finances decrease. However, Daniel has found that a comfortable existence is possible even without money and many of the troubles inherent to modern life simply disappear in the absence of currency. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
