The Impact of Money Economy on Social Dynamics

This chapter explores how the introduction of a money economy has divided societies, leading to issues like debt, mortgages, and the rise of social classes. It critiques the negative implications on farmers, pushing them into precarious positions like sharecropping and even selling their children into slavery for survival. The conversation also delves into the historical context of debt forgiveness, property redistribution, class division, and the undemocratic nature of ancient societies.
