"Debt: The First 5000 Years" by David Graeber - Book Review

from Master of Life Awareness 🧠 · host Igor Turkusic - SF Walker

Debt, the First 5000 Years shows us that before there was money, there was debt. For more than 5000 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 that we also first encounter a society divided into debtors and creditors — which lives on in full force to this day. Arguments about debt and debt forgiveness have been at the center of political debates from Renaissance Italy to Imperial China, as well as sparking innumerable insurrections.
