The groundbreaking international best-seller that turns everything you think about money, debt, and society on its head—from the “brilliant, deeply original political thinker” David Graeber (Rebecca Solnit, author of Men Explain Things to Me)
Before there was money, there was debt. 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 that we also first encounter a society divided into debtors and creditors—which lives on in full force to this day.
So says anthropologist David Graeber in a stunning reversal of conventional wisdom. He shows that arguments about debt and debt forgiveness have been at the center of political debates from Renaissance Italy to Imperial 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.

Condición: Muy bueno. : Antes del dinero, existía la deuda. Todos los libros de texto de economía dicen lo mismo: el dinero se inventó para reemplazar los sistemas de trueque onerosos y complicados, para evitar que las personas antiguas tuvieran que transportar sus productos al mercado. ¿El problema con esta versión de la historia? No hay ni una pizca de evidencia que la respalde. Aquí, el antropólogo David Graeber presenta una asombrosa inversión de la sabiduría convencional. Muestra que durante más de 5000 años, desde los comienzos de los primeros imperios agrarios, los humanos han utilizado elaborados sistemas de crédito para comprar y vender bienes, es decir, mucho antes de la invención de monedas o efectivo. Es en esta era, argumenta Graeber, que también encontramos por primera vez una sociedad dividida en deudores y acreedores. Graeber muestra que los argumentos sobre la deuda y el perdón de la deuda han estado en el centro de los debates políticos desde Italia hasta China, además de provocar innumerables insurrecciones. También demuestra brillantemente que el lenguaje de las obras antiguas de derecho y religión (palabras como culpa, pecado y redención) se deriva en gran parte de los antiguos debates sobre la deuda y da forma incluso a nuestras ideas más básicas sobre el bien y el mal. Todavía estamos librando estas batallas hoy sin saberlo. EAN: 9781612194196 Tipo: Libros Categoría: Historia|Filosofía|Negocios y Economía Título: Debt Autor: David Graeber Idioma: en Páginas: 542.
