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.

作者认为，货币不是为了取代物物交换而出现，因此，传统关于货币起源的理论是错误的。然而要点在于，货币起源主要涉及直接交换与间接交换之间的区别，而非物物交换与信用体系的对立。馈赠和进贡也是一种直接交换，而物物交换也可以是一种间接交换。格雷伯在这个基本问题和逻辑...
评分首先作者一上来就推翻了古典经济学家关于货币起源的观点:以物易物-》以货币易物。从人类学家，历史学家来观察，作者观察到货币起源是这样的：以债易物-》政府规范债-》创造货币。这样货币的必要性，合法性跟政府是有很大关系的，从根本上怀疑了自由市场鼓吹者的根基。 ...
评分 评分 评分《债》是一个人类学家大卫●格雷柏讲述人类五千年进程中债的起源、如何演绎的历史。 他的一些观点颠覆了我们学过的经济学常识，例如货币的起源并非是亚当斯密所说的原始人物物交换，只不过是人们往来的记账标记。债不同于责任，是可以精确度量的；往往由于双方对债的度量、利息...

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.
