Abstract
We begins with an overview of the various connections between the economic and the relational realms. Successively, in Section 2 we utilise three established categories – namely non-rivalry, excludability and non-contractibility – for discussing whether recent trends in spontaneous sociability are really a reason for concern. In Section 3 we observe that something extraneous to established economic theory is also involved, communication at the emotional or affective level, and show that this has implications to which economics needs to give attention. In doing so we make reference to the works of authors who have ventured in these unsettled territories. These include the contributors to the book, whose chapters are briefly presented and situated in Section 4.Pubblicazioni consigliate
