On the Breakfast Grille, Melisa Idris speaks to Nipun Mehta, founder of Service Space, an incubator for gift-economy projects.

Ideologically, the Gift Economy is a way of doing business that allows the client to determine the value of the item or service. Ethically, it challenges the receiver to give back. Philosophically, it offers a worldview centered on relationship, instead of money.

We ask Nipun to explain Service Space's guiding principles and how "giftivism" can shift the economic relationship between consumption and contribution.
