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.

評分For the non-industrious poor
評分從人類學和社會學角度寫的經濟著作 榮譽與榮譽降級那章挺有意思的
評分profound
評分有點意思,從debt&credit的角度來看人類經濟活動,認不認同另當彆論。但作者有一個觀點比較顛覆:沒有足夠證據證明嚴格意義上的以物易物在人類曆史上普遍存在過,所以不能作為一個整體意義上的階段性經濟活動,新時代占星學又扯淡瞭
1. 一直很活跃的新左大将 LSE人类学家David Graeber最出名的书,原文很棒。内容涉及左右立场,作为Daivd大粉丝我自然给个满分。 2. 评价翻译是个没意思的事,大家也明白翻译是个吃力不讨好的活儿。明白译文好坏的人,一般也不太会看译文。本书应该董子云同学本科时翻译的,后生...
評分本书作者大卫·格雷伯是美国著名的无政府主义人类学家,是“占领华尔街”运动的组织者。 作者通过梳理纵横5000年的人类历史, 阐述了一个看似简单实者重要而复杂的名词:债! 本书直接颠覆了主流经济学理论的货币概念,剑指经济学创立之鼻祖亚当·斯密。 在阅读的过程中,虽然...
評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...
評分- 记录债务的信用体系发生在货币以前,货币是为方便转移债务而发明。以物换物只发生在陌生人之间。 - 金银是战争的同谋,而不是和平的附属。 - 按照虚拟货币和金属货币的交易为依据,把欧亚史分为第一农耕帝国时代(前3500-前800,庙宇里的贵金属是国家系统的基石,陶片记债法...
評分作者认为,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...
