Has anyone read the book “Give and Take” by Adam Grant? I’m part way through, and it’s making an interesting argument in favor of, essentially, generosity. The implication so far is that, when done correctly, selfless giving creates value.

I like the idea overall, it’s a nice nod to altruism. However, it’s somewhat at odds with capitalist approaches of value-for-value. In particular, it seems to contradict things like the implicit roles of Atlantis in Atlas Shrugged.

I’m curious if others have had similar thoughts on the book, or frankly anything else. #economics #asknostr
