We read the second half of David Graeber’s critically acclaimed “Debt: The First 5000 years.” a sweeping and provocative cross-cultural history of one of society’s most taken-for-granted social technologies, debt! (page 200 onwards)

After critiquing and problematizing our conventional notions of how debt, society, and the “the market” interact in the first half of the book, Graeber methodically recounts debt’s 5000 year history right up to our present financialized world.
