5.9 Reviewing The Serviceberry, by Robin Wall Kimmerer

This episode features our host reviewing the latest book by Robin Wall Kimmerer, The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World, focusing specifically on the idea of a gift economy. The book invites us to transition from the extractive and exploitative market economy that is dominant around the globe to a gift economy oriented around abundance, reciprocity, and gratitude. It is an informative and  inspiring book that works as a good introduction to Kimmerer's work for those unfamiliar with her while also adding more depth for those who have already read her previous works, like Braiding Sweetgrass.
