Alternative shopping,, FreeShops, reflect a switch over from scarcity to
abundance brought about by increased material wealth due to technological
advances.

FreeShops in the Netherlands are mostly run by people against
the senseless consumerism of our times. The idea is not in the first place
to provide for the poor, but to prevent people from buying new goods, to
give them a change to escape the vicious circle of alienating work and
exploitation and to show that things are much more (or less?) than their
trade value. Give away shops are a real life proof that an economy without
property (and therefore trade) is possible.
