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.

读后感
最早見到這本書是對岸中信出的版本，當時書名就叫做《債》，還蠻引人好奇的，但先不論譯筆，光是看到後面的注釋全部都用英文原版影印的偷懶步驟，就瞬間滅火了。商周這次推出，本以為是買版權，不過看了譯者後才發現猜錯了。翻了幾頁覺得不錯就帶回家了。 作者大衛‧格雷伯...
评分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...
评分如果你以为这是一本经济学著作，那你就错了。 如果我知道这是一个人类学家写的书，我可能连翻阅的兴趣都没有。 这本书最容易引起人阅读兴趣的地方就在第一章第三页，作者对四个关键字——欠债还钱——的质疑。 欠债还钱，_ _ _ _。 空格上填什么？99%的人会写“天经地...

erudite,profund,subversive and liberating.
评分profound
评分喜欢这本书的scope，五千年的全球史，而大部分当代人已经很难去书写一个对于整体的世界的想象了。遵循了从涂尔干--莫斯一路下来的ethnogenesis。对以亚当斯密为代表的political economy的批评非常radical：欠债还钱并非天经地义，这个时代需要召唤的是Jubilee，无政府主义背景明显。
评分Great and timely read
评分David还是很牛逼的，不过在一定程度上，他自己的政治立场会让他写的东西略微有些极端，但个人觉得分析很在理。
