Give and Take
Give and Take asks whether success is shaped by how people give, take, or exchange fairly. It follows generosity through networks, creative work, communication, and volunteering, then examines the boundaries and social practices that make giving sustainable. The result is a framework for understanding when helping others expands impact—and when it becomes costly.
