Serial reciprocity
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Serial reciprocity is a term used to represent the effect whereby the benefactor of a gift or service will in turn provide benefits to a third party. For instance, an artist supported by a patron may decide to serve as a patron after achieving financial success, thus passing the initial gift down cyclically to others.
