“Graeber carefully shows that everything from the ancient work of law and religion to human notions like ‘guilt,’ ‘sin,’ and ‘redemption,’ are deeply influenced by ancients debates about credit and debt.  It is no accident that debt continues to fuel political debate, from the crippling debt crises that have gripped Greece and Ireland, to our own debate over whether to raise the debt ceiling. Debt, an incredibly captivating narrative spanning 5,000 years, puts these crises into their full context and illuminates one of the thorniest subjects in all of history.”
