The History of Debt by David Grayber

The debt reckoning that is about to come upon us well it's just to tie it back to the previous scene like it's what's causing the demise of the project's attitude right. I actually went back to start reading a little bit on the history of debt as as a concept and it's really interesting because in a lot of economic theories about money they often assumed barter was the first thing before money came along. Debt predates currency in many ways so if you can have double entry bookkeeping like accounts you don't necessarily need money what you need is the reckoning, he says.
