Now in audio, the updated and expanded edition: David Graeber's "fresh...fascinating...thought-provoking...and exceedingly timely" (Financial Times) history of debt.
Here, anthropologist David Graeber presents a stunning reversal of conventional wisdom: He shows that before there was money, there was debt. For more than 5,000 years, since the beginnings of the first agrarian empires, humans have used elaborate credit systems to buy and sell goods - that is, long before the invention of coins or cash. It is in this era, Graeber argues, that we also first encounter a society divided into debtors and creditors.
Graeber shows that arguments about debt and debt forgiveness have been at the center of political debates from Italy to China, as well as sparking innumerable insurrections. He also brilliantly demonstrates that the language of the ancient works of law and religion (words like "guilt", "sin", and "redemption") derive in large part from ancient debates about debt, and shape even our most basic ideas of right and wrong. We are still fighting these battles today without knowing it.

Geschichte
For generations, our remote ancestors have been cast as primitive and childlike - either free and equal, or thuggish and warlike. Civilisation, we are told, could be achieved only by sacrificing those original freedoms or, alternatively, by taming our baser instincts. David Graeber and David Wengrow show how such theories first emerged in the 18th century as a reaction to Indigenous critiques of European society and why they are wrong. In doing so, they overturn our view of human history, including the origins of farming, property, cities, democracy, slavery and civilisation itself.

Geschichte
Democracy has been the American religion since before the Revolution - from New England town halls to the multicultural democracy of Atlantic pirate ships. But can our current political system, one that seems responsive only to the wealthiest among us and leaves most Americans feeling disengaged, voiceless, and disenfranchised, really be called democratic? And if the tools of our democracy are not working to solve the rising crises we face, how can we - average citizens - make change happen? David Graeber, one of the most influential scholars and activists of his generation, takes listeners on a journey through the idea of democracy.

Geschichte
On Anarchism provides the reasoning behind Noam Chomsky's fearless lifelong questioning of the legitimacy of entrenched power. In these essays, Chomsky redeems one of the most maligned ideologies, anarchism, and places it at the foundation of his political thinking. Chomsky's anarchism is distinctly optimistic and egalitarian. Moreover, it is a living, evolving tradition that is situated in a historical lineage; Chomsky's anarchism emphasizes the power of collective, rather than individualist, action.

Geschichte
One of the most talked-about scholarly works of the past 50 years, Judith Butler's Gender Trouble is as celebrated as it is controversial. Arguing that traditional feminism is wrong to look to a natural, "essential" notion of the female, or indeed of sex or gender, Butler starts by questioning the category "woman" and continues in this vein with examinations of "the masculine" and "the feminine." Best known however, but also most often misinterpreted, is Butler's concept of gender as a reiterated social performance rather than the expression of a prior reality.

Any ambitious proposal - ranging from fixing crumbling infrastructure to Medicare for all or preventing the coming climate apocalypse - inevitably sparks questions: how can we afford it? How can we pay for it? Stephanie Kelton points out how misguided those questions really are by using the bold ideas of modern monetary theory (MMT), a fundamentally different approach to using our resources to maximise our potential as a society.

Why did humans abandon hunting and gathering for sedentary communities dependent on livestock and cereal grains and governed by precursors of today's states? Most people believe that plant and animal domestication allowed humans, finally, to settle down and form agricultural villages, towns, and states, which made possible civilization, law, public order, and a presumably secure way of living. But archaeological and historical evidence challenges this narrative.

Great historical perspective
After the introduction I was afraid that the whole book will have a political overtone, but I was pleased to find that not to be the case (except for the last chapter and introduction).
David Graeber provides the great historical arc of debt and money all the way back to Mesopotamia 3000 BCE. It is shown how these concepts are deeply intertwined with cultural, religious and moral beliefs, as well as war.
Great book for anyone, there is no particular background knowledge required.

Re-imagine...
"There is a shape to the past, and it is only by understanding it that we can begin to have a sense of the historical opportunities that exist in the present." - David Gaeber
After "the collapse of our collective imagination", the author has undertaken the bold enterprise to unleash our visions: setting the 2008 historical break into perspective by composing a history of money and economy - on the broadest historical scale, as a history of credit and debt across 5 millennia. While economists get caught up in mathematical models, "arranging data around equations", and historians - due to lack of evidence - often treat institutions of social life in ancient times as non-existent, the anthropologist is less shy to develop a grand narrative with large rhythms and long durée.
The history of money is more than "a history of coinage" - credit arrangements simply do not leave physical traces. Nonetheless, they were prevailing, as Graeber demonstrates by diving deep into the earliest written records. He puts the "myth of barter" to final rest. The assumption that barter came before coins was the pillar of liberal and neoliberal thought and has for a century been contested against by ethnologists, while being copy-pasted in all introductions to economy.
Market and Economy, though, are not the same thing, and markets do not spring up by divine providence. Graeber raises big questions and dismantles moral discourses about debt and credit to put them into a wider context - the entanglement of military-coinage-power complexes, the role of administration, bureaucracy and religion in various different cultures and regions of the world; equality versus inequality, and the unsettling parallels of wage labour to slavery.
Indeed, a general history of economy can only be a history of morality. Graeber is not the first to combine historical insight with ethnology, but the level, depth and broadth of discussion is outstanding. How are debt, work, money, growth and the economy really linked together? Is economy really separable from other spheres of social life? What's the impact of money on social life? How come we have arrived at the point where we are? This book offers a moral reassessment which nourishes our mutilated sense of possibilities. It is extremeley refreshing and empowering to begin to understand the context of conditions today and to perceive of oneself as a historical actor, since yes: history isn't over...
The most thorough book I have ever read about the origins of money, extremely thought-provoking.
I have enjoyed this mental journey. Coming from the ancient history department, I fully embrace David Graeber's approach of a grand narrative, his work highlights the impact of history for understanding the PRESENT.
Grover Gardner's performance is engaging and helped me to better grasp the contents by his vivid interpretation, his voice puts the text to life.
