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
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 评分 评分我想起来，作者应该是讨厌【钱生钱】的做法——钱一旦用来生钱，比如放贷，钱就不再是作为价值尺度的纯粹手段，而成了目的。 但是反观现在所有的商业，难道不都是在钱生钱么，只是过程没那么直接，是蜿蜒曲折的罢了：传统企业向银行贷款后扩大生产，以求更多利润；互联网企业得...
评分用户评价
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
评分Great and timely read
评分不同的视角，颇具启发性
评分erudite,profund,subversive and liberating.
