 A good is an economic good according to Anderson if its production, distribution, and enjoyment are properly governed by market norms (Anderson 1993: 146). This contrasts with a number of other kinds of goods, such as gift goods. Friendly gift exchange should be responsive to the personal characteristics of the receiver, and to the relationship itself, rather than “impersonal”. It should also express an understanding of the relationship and not merely satisfy the receiver’s subjective wants. Giving money is often regarded as offensive exactly because it ignores these characteristics of gift goods.
