Debt: The First 5,000 Years by David Graeber
3.0
Some really interesting stuff in here, both in terms of stories of how past cultural practices of obscure-to-me people and theorizing how money and debt work, but overall the books wasn't as revelatory to me as I'd hoped it would be, given certain friends' high opinions of it.
Actually, interesting but non-revelatory might sum up my opinion of anthropology as a whole.
Hard to follow Graeber's argument at times, and felt Debt could've used a better layout or structure or something. His attack on models at the end sort of but not really explains the weird structure, I guess?
Still, he's right that we need a debt jubilee.
