A very real example of the gift economy which I am personally aware of is the practice earlier in this century of neighboring farmers helping one another with crops or barn-raising without any money being exchanged. It was just the neighborly thing to do and there was an understanding that you help others and later help will be returned to you. There's no guarantee, but that also was understood.
