Gift economies mean the rich get to buy favors and influence with their gifts. Those who can gift the most will be the ones with the most power and influence. A gift economy is pure trading of favors and influence. At the same time there’s zero transparency. It’s institutionalized bribery. It’s pretty horrible for people with below average social skills. Charming narcissists will rule this society according to their whims.
