I have to say I'm more interested in Robert Levin's essay on agalmics:

http://users.openverse.com/~dtinker/agalmics.html

which I don't recall having seen discussed explicitly here. I encountered
this version of the gift economy in Charlie Stross's densely fascinating
story `Lobsters'

the protagonist of which is a `venture altruist', a rather charming idea. :)
