Way
01 Market I'll give you X if you give me Y. Excludes those without purchasing power.
02 Charity I'll give you X because you need it. Unsustainable and creates dependency.
03 Bureaucracy An authority decides who gets what. Slow, political, and inflexible.
04 Free Association "I recognize your contribution toward my goals; you recognize mine." Voluntary, fair, self-organizing coordination.
