The Favor Bank
The Favor Bank was coined by American writer Tom Wolfe in his book The Bonfire of the Vanities. Tom Wolfe's Favor Bank operated on the basis of Do favor s with the expectation of repayment, the Universal Favor Bank advocated here operates on the basis of Do favor s without expectation of repayment. In The Bonfire of the Vanities the Favor Bank is the trading of favor s in the legal and professional world. A record is kept of the favor s given and received just like borrowing and repaying money in a traditional bank.Paulo Coelho
The Favor Bank theme is picked up by Paulo Coelho in his book The Zahir, "... but I need his help, or might need it later on. There is, after all, that invisible institution called the Favor Bank, which I have always found so very useful".Favor Bank Stories
