 Reciprocity (cultural anthropology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
These three kinds of reciprocity are the most basic forms of economic exchange; more complex exchange systems include redistribution and the market.
Moral reciprocity refers to the general tendency of humans (and, some argue, other animals) to reciprocate both assistance and harm in relation to the subjective interpretation of that assistance or harm as moral or immoral.
For example, neoclassical economics holds that rational individuals will only engage in actions that maximize their material gains.

 Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : London School of Economics   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
The London School of Economics and Political Science, often referred to as the London School of Economics or simply the LSE, is a specialist university in London, often regarded as the world's most prestigious social science institution, as well as the world's most international university (70% of its students are from outside the UK).
The London School of Economics and Political Science was founded in 1895 after a bequest to the Fabian Society of some £20,000 by Henry Hunt Hutchinson in 1894.
In 1900, LSE was recognised as a Faculty of Economics in the newly constituted University of London, and in 1901 the Faculty degrees were announced as the Bachelor of Science (Econ.) and Doctor of Science (Econ.).

 Karl Marx and the Iroquois
Marx's Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts of 1844 arc unquestionably the brightest star of that heroic early period, but they should be seen as part of a whole constellation of interrelated activities and aspirations.
Especially voluminous are Marx's notes on the Iroquois, the confederation of tribes with which Morgan was personally most familiar (in 1846 he was in fact "adopted" by one of its constituent tribes, the Seneca, as a warrior of the Hawk clan), and on which he had written a classic monograph.
His overall admiration for North American Indian societies generally, and for the Iroquois in particular, is made clear throughout the text, perhaps most strongly in his highlighting of Morgan's reference to their characteristic "sense of independence" and "personal dignity?' qualities both men appreciated but found greatly diminished as humankind's "property career" advanced.

 Exceptions that Prove the Rule, #1: The Iroquois (The Anthropik Network)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
The term "Iroquois" comes from the French, and may refer to the insults their Huron allies used against their confederated enemies (calling them "fl snakes"), or perhaps from their oratory.
Even though the Iroquois were no longer what would be considered an "egalitarian" society, they treated one another with the same sort of interactions one would expect of a simple, band-level society.
Thus, the Iroquois are an exception that proves the rule: memes and cultural practices follow from material reality, rather than vice versa.
