Anybody read this collection? Pretty fire selection from Emerson

Bourdieu is the only one legit thinker. The rest is a bad philsoophy, don't waste time on it. The whole gift theory is only interesting in narrow anthropologic sense: various versions of pre-capitalist, pre-feudal economies. Philosophical-psychoanalitycal generalisations like these of derrida or others are garbage. Why do you find it interesting anyway?

The Derrida piece wasn't psychoanalytical gernalisations, more invested in a discussion of time in the context of exchange. idek one piece argued that gift exchange/ gift giving virtue was the crux of Thus Spake Zarathustra and that fascinated me cuz i hadn't read it in that context b4.
