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.

Different mind changing perspective on debt. Much appreciated book that will give you a new view on how debt originated and links to war, slavery, freedom and love and this connects to modern live.

Unexpectedly great

A great book and easy to follow along. It was astonishing to me to learn how earlier societies organised themselves. I now better understand why some older relatives of mine living in rural Germany painstakingly keep track of any favours given and owed!

How debt is underlying our whole economic system.

A book about debt and money systems should be a heavy narcotic.. not so here.. this was fascinating!! In actuality it’s a story of humanity and human interaction.. highly recommended to all!!!
