About this book
David Graeber questions the conventional account of money emerging from barter, tracing credit arrangements back to early agricultural empires. This anthropological history examines debt as a political and moral relationship as well as an economic one. Discussions of creditors, repayment and forgiveness connect ancient institutions with modern international lending and the assumption that every financial obligation must be honored.
