Gen Vaughan has been working on the theory of a maternal gift economy as an alternative to Patriarchal capitalism for many years. Two basic economic paradigms coexist in the world today. One visible, the other invisible: one highly valued, the other undervalued. One is connected with men; the other with women. What we need to do is validate the one connected with women, causing a basic shift in the values by which we direct our lives and policies."
Music We Are Walking in a Circle by Genevieve Vaughan from "Songs for the Tree of LIfe
The gift paradigm has the advantage of restoring mothering to its rightful place in the constitution of the human. what has been wrongly proposed in the construction of gender, with devastating effects, such as the promotion of the values of dominance, competition and hierarchy (which are non nurturing values) can be countered by re-introducing gift giving as a social value and interpretative key. Both male and female human beings are basically nurturers.
