Before there was money, there was debt

Every economics textbook says the same thing: Money was invented to replace onerous and complicated barter systems—to relieve ancient people from having to haul their goods to market. The problem with this version of history? There’s not a shred of evidence to support it.

Here anthropologist David Graeber presents a stunning reversal of conventional wisdom. He shows that 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.

Debt: The First 5,000 Years is a fascinating chronicle of this little known history—as well as how it has defined human history, and what it means for the credit crisis of the present day and the future of our economy.

一般古典经济学家认为人类货币的起源,始自"以物易物"、"货币交易"与"信用借偿"的自然过程,但作者试图以人类学的研究成果,推翻古典经济学缺乏论证的主张。通过历史回顾,David Graeber认为货币的起源应该倒反过来,是"信用借偿"、"货币交易",最后才是"以物易物"。此主张与古...

没有从头到尾读完,但还是为作者独特的观察视角折服。理论有多严谨不好说,但揭示了所有的理论都不是颠扑不破的

Call me gullible, but I’m largely sold on this. I am no expert in economics and the like, and, to be honest, I was a bit bored in the middle. But the author made me look at human history in a new light, and it definitely entrenched my disillusionment in our economy.

Good reading material for upper class and some middle class. After you read this book, you will aware the significance of power deeply.

这本书好的地方在于用人类学的角度思考经济、让我获益良多,不好的地方是作者野心太大、非要粗粗写5000年,造成许多不正确的概括,以及作者自己的思想偏见。与此同时,作为教授的作者学问可能是好的,但书真是写的散漫至极。
