Debt: The First 5,000 Years

by David Graeber

ISBN 9781933633862

About This Book

Debts are something that are very popular all around the world and money means a lot to the world. Currently they are still in this world and they won’t disappear because they mean a lot to our financial system. In this book you will find a history of debts, how they were created and how they continue in our world.

Editorial Note

Demolishes the textbook story of barter-then-money and replaces it with a sprawling history of obligation, violence, and moral reasoning.
