Debt: The First 5,000 Years

Deeply thought-provoking - useful for radical questioning of modern economic life and all it presupposes. Granted there's plenty here that extrapolates away from the empirical basis of the text (a modern anthropological account of the history of money that is fascinating in its own right), but the paradigm he presents is well-worth grappling with. I look forward to engaging with criticisms of the text and thinking through how some of his arguments might be sharpened or improved.
