A large-scale and revolutionary study of the history of commodity-money relations from ancient times to the present day, undertaken by an American anthropologist, professor at the London School of Economics and one of the "anti-leaders" of the Occupy Wall Street movement, who coined the slogan "We are the 99%". Graeber draws on anthropological methods to argue that at the heart of what we traditionally call the economy is the category of debt, which at different stages of social development can take the forms of money, barter, collateral, credit, stock, and so on. One of the imperatives of the book is to take economics out of the clutches of the "professional economists" who proved their failure during the recent global crisis and place it in the broader context of cultural history, political science, sociology, and other humanities disciplines.
